A Web-Based E-learning Application on Electrochemotherapy
Abstract
In this paper we present the web-based elearning application on electrochemotherapy, an effective approach in local tumor treatment employing locally applied high-voltage electric pulses in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs. The antiumor treatment outcome is directly related to the electric field distribution in the target/tumor tissue. As the electric field distribution can not be displayed during the therapy we use numerical calculations in combination with web-based tools which allow visualizing and understanding the important parameters for effective electrochemotherapy.
