Abstract

Electroporation is a process that causes a transient increase in the permeability of cell membranes. It can be used to increase the intracellular concentration of chemotherapeutic agents in tumor cells (electrochemotherapy; ECT). A clinical study was initiated to determine if this mode of treatment would be effective against certain primary and metastatic cutaneous malignancies. A group of six patients, three with malignant melanoma, two with basal cell carcinoma, and one with metastatic adenocarcinoma, were enrolled in the study. the treatment was administered in a two-step process. Each patient received a 10 unit/m2 dose of bleomycin administered intravenously at 1 to 1.5 units/minute. This was followed by eight 99 microsecond pulses at an amplitude of 1.3 kV/cm administered directly to the tumors 5 to 15 minutes after the bleomycin was completely infused. Pulses were administered after the injection of 1% lidocaine solution around the treatment site. Two of three melanoma patients had objective responses. In these two patients, five of six treated tumors decreased in size, and three completely responded. Untreated tumors displayed continued growth. Objective responses were observed in both basal cell carcinoma (BCC) patients...Continue Reading
