Surgery and electrochemotherapy of a high-grade soft tissue sarcoma in a dog

ELECTROCHEMOTHERAPY (ect) is a new approach to treating solid neoplasms. It combines the systemic or local administration of a chemotherapeutic agent with the application of square or biphasic electrical pulses to increase the uptake of the drug by the cancer cells, thus resulting in an enhanced
