Abstrakt		The aim of this study was to determine the tumor blood flow modifying, and anti-vascular effect of electrochemotherapy with bleomycin or cisplatin. A complete shut-down of tumor blood flow was observed after electrochemotherapy with bleomycin and 50% reduction after electrochemotherapy with cisplatin. Tumor blood flow reduction following electrochemotherapy correlated well with its antitumor effectiveness. The results of HMEC-1 cells in vitro indicate a high sensitivity of endothelial cells to electrochemotherapy. Electrochemotherapy with bleomycin resulted in a greater potentiation of cytotoxicity compared to electrochemotherapy with cisplatin on HMEC1 cells. Therefore, the results indicate that the antitumor effect of electrochemotherapy is likely to be due partly to increased drug delivery and partly to anti-vascular action.
