Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Biotechnology
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Cell electropermeabilization is a technique in molecular and cellular biology.
  • This technique has evolved into a novel antitumor treatment called electrochemotherapy.
  • Electrochemotherapy was developed at the Institut Gustave-Roussy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce electrochemotherapy as a new antitumor treatment.
  • To describe the scientific basis and methodology of electrochemotherapy.
  • To report the efficacy of electrochemotherapy in preclinical and clinical studies.

Main Methods:

  • Intravenous administration of a low dose of bleomycin.
  • Local delivery of electric pulses to tumor nodules using electrodes.
  • Application of the technique in both animal models (mice) and human clinical trials.
