Electrochemotherapy is a specialized cancer treatment that enhances the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs by using short electrical pulses to temporarily open cell membranes. This technique allows the medication to enter tumor cells more efficiently, improving its impact while reducing side effects in the rest of the body. It is most commonly used for tumors located on the skin or just under the surface.

This procedure is typically done under light anesthesia and is often well tolerated by pets. Electrochemotherapy can be especially useful when surgery is not an option or when the goal is to improve local control of a tumor. It may be used on its own or in combination with other treatments. Our team will help determine if this approach is appropriate based on your pet’s tumor type, size, and location.
