Measure
Electrochemotherapy
All patients were administered with intravenous bolus of bleomycin (15,000 IU/m2, Bleomycin medac, Medac, Hamburg, Germany), after intraoperative ultrasound confirmed the correct electrode placement. Eight minutes after bleomycin injection, electric pulses were delivered by Cliniporator®VITAE (IGEA SpA, Carpi, Italy).
