Review of electrochemotheraphy-based treatment of cutaneous, subcutaneous and deep-seated tumors towards specific treatment planning

Electrochemotherapy is an electroporationbased treatment successfully used in palliation of cutaneous and subcutaneous tumors. Its high response rate encourage further research on electrochemotherapy applied in deep tissues as a minimally invasive procedure for primary tumors. In order to assess ele...

Summary:Electrochemotherapy is an electroporationbased treatment successfully used in palliation of cutaneous and subcutaneous tumors. Its high response rate encourage further research on electrochemotherapy applied in deep tissues as a minimally invasive procedure for primary tumors. In order to assess electrochemotherapy effectiveness in breast primary tumors in Mexico, it is presented a review of background, current aspects and perspectives of this technique reported in Europe thus the identification of technological requirements to be attended are discussed.
