چکیده
Electrochemotherapy (ECT) has evolved significantly during the last decade, expanding treatment indications from superficial skin lesions to advanced-stage, deep-seated tumors in hard-to-reach areas. Electrodes have also shown steady technological improvement throughout years. Besides standard and VEG (variable geometry electrode) electrodes, introduction of laparoscopic electrodes brought on a new era ECT treatment, making minimally invasive approach reality. The exact role oncological dashboard is yet be determined; however, increased tumor response, pain relief, low number adverse events may yield way for more widespread application technique with possible further inclusion international guidelines. aim this review give an overview current status shed light its emerging local anticancer therapy.

Electrochemotherapy (ECT) and irreversible electroporation (IRE) -advanced techniques for treating deep-seated tumors based on electroporation
* Correspondence: Damijan. [email protected] University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Ljubljana, 1000, Slovenia When a cell is exposed to a sufficiently intense electric field (for a sufficient duration), local defects in the cell membrane appear and become permeable to molecules that otherwise cannot pass through it. This phenomenon is commonly known as electroporation ...
متن کاملTowards treatment planning and treatment of deep-seated solid tumors by electrochemotherapy
BACKGROUND Electrochemotherapy treats tumors by combining specific chemotherapeutic drugs with an intracellular target and electric pulses, which increases drug uptake into the tumor cells. Electrochemotherapy has been successfully used for treatment of easily accessible superficial tumor nodules. In this paper, we present the first case of deep-seated tumor electrochemotherapy based on numeric...

متن کاملDeep seated Candidiasis
Candida pneumonia is classified as primary when there is no other hematogenous manifestation of candidiasis. The infection is rare and usually is the result of aspiration. Secondary candida pneumonia, the most frequent presentation, is associated with hematogenous candidiasis. Among cancer patients, only 9% of pulmonary candidiasis cases were considered primary. Cardiovascular infections caused...
متن کاملElectroporation-Based Treatment Planning for Deep-Seated Tumors Based on Automatic Liver Segmentation of MRI Images
Electroporation is the phenomenon that occurs when a cell is exposed to a high electric field, which causes transient cell membrane permeabilization. A paramount electroporation-based application is electrochemotherapy, which is performed by delivering high-voltage electric pulses that enable the chemotherapeutic drug to more effectively destroy the tumor cells. Electrochemotherapy can be used ...
