I’m torn between Ifosfamide and Busulfan. I feel like I’ve seen both in practice questions, but I can’t recall which one is correct.

I remember practicing a question about Mesna and its use with chemotherapeutics. Ifosfamide definitely rings a bell.

Ah, I'm drawing a blank on this one. I'll have to make an educated guess and go with B, paclitaxel.

Okay, I remember learning that mesna is a uroprotective agent used to prevent hemorrhagic cystitis, which can be a side effect of certain chemotherapies. I think the answer is C, ifosfamide.

C'mon, everyone knows it's Ifosfamide! Mesna and Ifosfamide are like peanut butter and jelly, you can't have one without the other.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure it's Ifosfamide. Although, I heard Doxorubicin can also cause some nasty bladder issues, so maybe that's it? Better double-check the notes.
