Abstrakt		Some chemotherapeutic drugs, like cisplatin, have also radiosensitizing effect. It is presumed, that by increased drug accumulation, radiation response can be potentiated. Application of electric pulses to the cells and tissues was found to be an approach that increases drug delivery into the cells and tissues. This approach, electrochemotherapy, was combined with irradiation of tumor cells in vitro and irradiation of tumors in vivo. In the study on LPB fibrosarcoma we demonstrated increased radiation response of LPB cells in vitro and of tumors in mice. Tumor curability was icreased for 40% when electrochemotherapy was combined with irradiation of tumors compared to irradiation only, and for 30% compared to radiosensitizing effect of cisplatin alone.
