Optimal dose-response relationship in electrolytic ablation of tumors with a one-probe-two-electrode device
Electrolytic ablation (EA), a medical treatment used in solid tumor ablation due to its minimum side effects and low cost, consists in the passage of a low constant electric current through two or more electrodes inserted in the tissue thus inducing pH fronts that produce tumor necrosis. Combined wi...

Electrolytic ablation (EA), a medical treatment used in solid tumor ablation due to its minimum side effects and low cost, consists in the passage of a low constant electric current through two or more electrodes inserted in the tissue thus inducing pH fronts that produce tumor necrosis.
