Abstract

There is an increasing clinical challenge in the treatment of primary and secondary brain tumors, mostly because of a rise in the number of patients with brain metastases and the limited treatment results with the standard treatments available today. A novel and promising treatment modality, electrochemotherapy, which is a combination of the technique of electroporation and the chemotherapeutic drug bleomycin, could be a new treatment option for these patients. This chapter elucidates the background and experience with electrochemotherapy and looks into the possibilities for use in the treatment of primary and secondary brain tumors.
