Bioelectric Applications for Treatment of Melanoma

Bioelectric Applications for Treatment of Melanoma

Two new cancer therapies apply bioelectric principles. These methods target tumor structures locally and function by applying millisecond electric fields to deliver plasmid DNA encoding cytokines using electrogene transfer (EGT) or by applying rapid rise-time nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEF...
