Electrochemotherapy with Bleomycin Supported by NIRF Imaging with Indocyanine Green (ICG)—In Vitro and In Vivo Case Study

Abstract: Electrochemotherapy (ECT) with bleomycin has been effectively used in recent years to treat various skin tumors. Microsecond electric pulses significantly improve bleomycin (BLM) delivery and its anticancer potential. Up to now, we can determine electric field distribution in the targeted tissue, however, the distribution of the injected drug is still not well known. In this study, we propose the combination of indocyanine green (ICG) with bleomycin as a practical approach for ECT, enabling drug distribution c… Show more

“…There are variations in drug absorption that are influenced by the nature of the different histotypes, as evidenced by meta-analysis studies [ 9 ] that suggest that this is especially dependent on their microvascularization [ 10 ]. Recently, thanks to the development of a combined injection of bleomycin with indocyanine green in veterinary oncology cases, as well as a novel pharmacokinetic method to evaluate the distribution of bleomycin in plasma, serum and tissue, dose adjustments have been possible, especially in elderly humans [ 11 , 12 ]. Several studies have proved the clinical validity of this therapy in terms of enhanced tumor control, with overall limited toxicity in both human and veterinary medicine [ 1 , 8 ].…”
