Intraoperative electrochemotherapy of colorectal liver metastases

Electrochemotherapy is effective in treatment of various cutaneous tumors and could be translated into treatment of deep‐seated tumors. With this aim a prospective pilot study was conducted to evaluate feasibility, safety, and efficacy of intraoperative electrochemotherapy in the treatment of colorectal liver metastases.
