Radiological evidence of response to electrochemical treatment of breast cancer

Clin Radiol. 1991 Feb;43(2):84-7. doi: 10.1016/s0009-9260(05)81583-1.

Abstract

A non-surgical therapeutic approach is illustrated with a case report of a breast cancer. Percutaneous implantation of electrodes in a breast permitted electrochemical treatment of a clinically, radiologically and cytologically verified cancer. Electrophoresis was induced between two implanted electrodes for about 2 h. No complaints were reported and no complications were observed. Bi-annual mammographic follow up could not disclose palpable or mammographic evidence of tumour remnants 2 years later.
