L'électrothérapie du cancer (ECT), également appelée électrochimiothérapie, est un traitement médical qui utilise des impulsions électriques pour renforcer l'effet des médicaments de chimiothérapie sur les cellules tumorales. Grâce aux impulsions, les membranes cellulaires des cellules cancéreuses deviennent brièvement plus perméables, ce qui permet aux médicaments de pénétrer plus facilement dans les cellules et d'être plus efficaces. L'électrolyse se produit à la jonction des électrodes et du conducteur d'électrolyte. La dévitalisation du tissu tumoral provoque une réaction inflammatoire, à la suite de laquelle le tissu cancéreux est dégradé par les macrophages.
L'élément déterminant pour une thérapie anticancéreuse douce est que les effets destructeurs des cellules agissent exclusivement dans le tissu tumoral et n'affectent pas les tissus sains. Cette méthode est souvent utilisée pour les tumeurs de la peau ou des tissus mous et permet un traitement ciblé avec moins d'effets secondaires pour les tissus environnants.
in Italiano
L'elettroterapia (ECT), nota anche come elettrochemioterapia, è un trattamento medico in cui gli impulsi elettrici vengono utilizzati per potenziare l'effetto degli agenti chemioterapici sulle cellule tumorali. Gli impulsi rendono brevemente più permeabili le membrane cellulari delle cellule tumorali, in modo che i farmaci possano penetrare più facilmente nelle cellule ed essere più efficaci. L'elettrolisi avviene nel passaggio dagli elettrodi al conduttore elettrolitico. La devitalizzazione del tessuto tumorale porta a una reazione infiammatoria, in seguito alla quale il tessuto canceroso viene disgregato dai macrofagi.
Il fattore decisivo per una terapia antitumorale delicata è che gli effetti di distruzione delle cellule agiscono esclusivamente nel tessuto tumorale, lasciando inalterato il tessuto sano. Questo metodo viene spesso utilizzato per i tumori della pelle o dei tessuti molli e consente un trattamento mirato con minori effetti collaterali sui tessuti circostanti.
in English
Electrocancer therapy (ECT), also known as electrochemotherapy, is a medical treatment in which electrical impulses are used to enhance the effect of chemotherapeutic agents on tumour cells. The impulses briefly make the cell membranes of the cancer cells more permeable so that the drugs can penetrate the cells more easily and be more effective there. Electrolysis occurs at the transition from the electrodes to the electrolyte conductor. The devitalisation of the tumour tissue leads to an inflammatory reaction, as a result of which the cancer tissue is broken down by macrophages.
The decisive factor for gentle cancer therapy is that the cell-destroying effects act exclusively in the tumour tissue, leaving healthy tissue unaffected. This method is often used for skin or soft tissue tumours and enables targeted treatment with fewer side effects for surrounding tissue
Indications
Mammary carcinomas, especially recurrence after radiation and chemotherapy
Selected tumors of the ear, nose and throat area, skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous, melanoma, etc.
Skin metastases
Soft tissue tumors
Isolated organ metastases
Tumors of the liver, the gall bladder and pancreas,
Colon and rectum cancers,
bladder carcinoma
Almost all mucosal tumors
Bone metastases,
Lung and bronchial
The aim of the application of direct current is the wanted rapid aseptic flow heat (thermo)-induced necrosis (death of sterile tumor tissue) of a tumor or tumor field by a controlled stepwise switchable DC source by means of electrodes and probes into the tumor tissue.
The combination of ECT with conventional treatments, such as Chemotherapy and radiation therapy is possible.
Here it should be mentioned that the efficiency of the above methods is amplified by a factor of 10.
