We are excited to announce a new treatment modality available to patients at MOVH!
Tumor Specific Electroporation (TSE), a form of electrochemotherapy, is an exciting advancement whereby local application of electrical pulses causes tumors cells to take up a larger amount of chemotherapy leading to enhanced cellular death. TSE can be used for many different tumor types, both for management or treatment of tumors of the skin and mouth and for scars where tumor cells are present at the margins. In contrast to radiation therapy, the treatment is delivered in 2-3 doses under sedation with little to no side effects to the normal tissues. This technology will help us improve and extend quality of life for our adored patients.
Some specific examples of cases where TSE can be utilized:
