THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS OF CALCIUM ELECTROPORATION TO EFFECTIVELY INDUCE TUMOR NECROSIS

摘要

The present inventors have shown that electroporation with calcium ions are efficient on cutaneous and subcutaneous nodules. In particular the present inventors here disclose that a solution comprising calcium ions (Ca2+) with a concentration of at least 0.1 M is extremely useful in a method of treating a neoplasm, such as cancer with means for causing transient permeabilisation of the cell membranes of at least part of the neoplasm before, during and/or after administration of said solution,wherein said solution is administered with a ratio of 0.2 to 0.8 of the volume of said part of the neoplasm.
