What is Electrochemotherapy?
Electrochemotherapy (ECT) is a safe, targeted, cancer treatment that uses a very low dose of chemotherapy combined with electric pulses to destroy the cancer.
When is Electrochemotherapy used?
ECT is an effective treatment against many tumors, including melanoma, mast cell, soft tissue sarcomas, perianal tumors, nasal tumors, and other types of tumors. It is useful for lesions that cannot be removed with surgery or have proven resistant to other therapies such as standard chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
