Ultrasound‐guided electrochemotherapy for the treatment of skin metastases of breast cancer: a winning combination of techniques

Electrochemotherapy (ECT) is a local therapy for the treatment of cutaneous and subcutaneous tumour nodules in which standard treatments have failed or proved to be inappropriate. [1] It is mainly indicated for local treatment of solid neoplasms as melanoma, Kaposi sarcoma and cutaneous or subcutaneous metastases. [2]. Skin metastases frequently lead to pain, bleeding, secondary infections or exudation. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
