Author(s): Monia Specchia*, Denise Drittone, Eva Mazzotti* and Federica Mazzuca
Objective: In the current oncologic landscape, where immunotherapy plays a central role in the management of both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers across various clinical settings, we explored the potential added value of Electrochemotherapy (ECT) as a loco-regional treatment. Can ECT, by enhancing the intracellular delivery of chemotherapeutic agents via reversible electroporation, offer synergistic benefits when integrated with systemic immunotherapeutic strategies? In this study we presented three cases of patients with advanced cutaneous malignancies treated with ECT in combination with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs), with the aim of exploring the therapeutic potential of this multimodal strategy.
Methods: Three patients diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma or melanoma underwent one or more ECT procedures alongside systemic .. View More»
