EMDA with MMC
FIG. 49: Electromotive drug administration (EMDA) has been studied with mitomycin alone and with mitomycin combined with BCG, but only one study has compared EMDA mitomycin alone with passive mitomycin or BCG separately.[40] Passive BCG and EMDA mitomycin response rates were similar and superior to passive mitomycin, but this is only one study from one center with a limited number of patients. So before we can say that this combination is more effective than BCG, or comparable, we need more studies.
