Electrochemotherapy is a new therapeutic treatment to improve the quality of life of patients affected by skin cancer not treatable with standard therapies

Electrochemotherapy is available to patients with advanced or spreading cancer involving the skin surface.  It has been used very successfully with painful skin cancer and bleeding cancer lesions.  It allows a very low dose of chemotherapy agents to be injected directly into the skin tumours and over 85% of tumours respond successfully regardless of tumour type.  This can bring enormous reduction in pain and discomfort to skin cancer patients without the normal side effects of chemotherapy drugs.

Who Benefits from Electrochemotherapy?

• Patients concerned about potentially disfiguring skin cancer surgery, such as cancer of the lip, cancer of the tongue, and other head and neck cancers

• Elderly patients who cannot be treated with other therapies
• Patients whose tumours are too large for surgery can have Electrochemotherapy in order to shrink the tumour to make it operable
