As a result, the intracellular accumulation of the chemotherapeutic drug can be increased substantially.
ECT is used for local treatment and control of tumors. Effects on bleeding and secretion are often seen in a few days.
Bleomycin and Cisplatin are the two drugs currently used for ECT. Bleomycin can be administered intra-tumorally or intravenously, depending on the number and size of the tumors. Cisplatin can be administered only intra-tumorally.
