This is the first edited collection on veterinary applications of
electroporation. Written by an international team of experts, this
book presents worldwide emerging therapy options for cancer
treatments in veterinary oncology practice. Electroporation offers
a precision tool to target cancer cells without destroying
surrounding tissue structures. The opening of tumor cell membranes
facilitates local control of solid tumors either through the
delivery of chemotherapeutics or by direct ablation of tissues
using electric fields. In addition, transfer of gene-based products
into the cancer cells can be used for genetic vaccination to
achieve systemic responses and cancer control. Readers will
discover valuable reference texts for practitioner education,
including chapters on electrodes for unique anatomical access and
treatment planning for deep-seated tumors, different immunotherapy
applications with gene electrotransfer, calcium electroporation,
irreversible electroporation applications and combinations with
other common treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy and
chemotherapy.Therapy options with electroporation are gaining
interest around the world in both human and veterinary oncology,
making this book valuable for oncologists, surgeons, primary care
veterinarians, residents, interns and students at veterinary
schools, where teaching of Electrochemotherapy will become part of
the curriculum.
