Abstract
Background: Electrochemotherapy is a relatively new technique in the treatment of skin metastases that are not amenable to conventional therapy. Its use in breast cancer is now established in many European centers.Methods: Published literature of electrochemotherapy in terms of its scientific basis, current clinical practice of breast cancer treatment providers, as well as the future directions for the technology has been reviewed.Results: Collective global experience of the last 10 years has demonstrated Electrochemotherapy is a safe, well-tolerated and effective treatment of cutaneous breast cancer metastases and good outcome characteristics have been identified. However, successful treatment requires appropriate patient selection. Conclusions: Electrochemotherapy is now established as a standard of care for cutaneous metastases. Its future use may extend to gene therapy and the treatment of visceral tumors.
