Electrochemotherapy

[15] Since then, more than 4000 patients were treated with electrochemotherapy all over the world (Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Nicaragua, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, UK, USA).

Multiple positioning of the electrodes, and subsequent pulse delivery, can be performed during a session to treat the whole lesion, provided that drug concentration is sufficient.

[31] Additionally, ECT is uniquely employed by a clinic in Germany for the treatment of prostate cancer, often in combination with Irreversible Electroporation (IRE).

Provided that appropriate anesthesia is used for alleviation of the symptoms associated with application of electric pulses, the control of the pain level during the electrochemotherapy is acceptable for the patients.

[5] There is also induction of a vascular lock by the type of pulses used in electrochemotherapy: for a few minutes, blood flow is interrupted in the treated volume in the normal tissues.

There are centers in Argentina, Brazil,[37][38] Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Republica Dominicana, Spain, France, Italy, Ireland, Slovenia, United Arab Emirates, and the UK,.

[39] There are now multiple institutions in the US including Maine, New York, Rhode Island, Washington, Missouri, South Carolina, Hawaii, Las Vegas, Florida, Virginia, and the Bay Area of Northern California where this treatment is available.
