Electrochemotherapy

Electrochemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that combines the use of electric pulses and chemotherapy. It has been used to treat certain types of cancer such as melanoma, soft tissue sarcomas, and basal cell carcinoma. The electric pulses create temporary pores in the cancer cell, allowing the chemotherapeutic drug to penetrate the cell and reach its target. This method is minimally invasive, quick, and has been shown to be effective in controlling tumors. Electrochemotherapy has been used as a primary treatment and in conjunction with other treatments such as radiotherapy and surgery, with better disease-free survival rates than single-agent treatments.
