“…Among the different indications of ECT for cutaneous and subcutaneous primary cancer or skin metastasis, the following are included: palliative treatment of skin metastases in advanced diseases; neoadjuvant cytoreductive therapy prior to conventional treatment; organ and function sparing treatment; patients not suitable for or relapsed after treatment by surgery, radiotherapy or systemic therapy, and treatment of highly vascularized nodules due to its antivascular effect [ 42 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 ]. Additionally, in veterinary medicine ECT is used as an adjuvant therapy for the treatment of incompletely resected tumors, aiming to remove possible residual infiltrating cancer cells at the surgical site, when a wide safety margin resection is not possible [ 31 , 77 , 78 ]. The use of ECT in noncutaneous deep-seated and internal organ tumors is under investigation in a number of human clinical trials, with preliminary results indicating its feasibility and safety [ 42 , 72 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 ].…”
