Control by pulse parameters of DNA electrotransfer into solid tumors in mice.

Electrically mediated gene transfer is dependent on electrical parameters used for tissue electroporation. The study evaluated efficacy of different electrical parameters in electrogene transfer and indicates that the best transfection efficacy is obtained using several 600 V/cm electric pulses duration of 5 ms.

Radiosensitizing effect of electrochemotherapy in a fractionated radiation regimen in murine tumors with different radiosensitivity

Electrochemotherapy uses cytostatics bleomycin or cisplatin that have radiosensitizing effect. Electroporation increses intracellular concentration of both drugs resulting in increased radiosensitization of tumors. The study has indicated as the first that electrochemotherapy is effective also in fractionated radiation regime, both on radisensitive and radioresistant tumors.
