Abstract     Metastases of breast cancer in male patient were treated with electrochemotherapy by intratumoural injection of cisplatin. Electrochemotherapy consists of chemotherapy, which is followed by local application of electric pulses to the tumour nodules in order to increase drug delivery into the cells. Cutaneous metastases of breast cancer were treated with intratumoural administration of cisplatin and thereafter by application of electric pulses. The treatment resulted in complete response of two electrochemotherapy treated cutaneous metastases and partial response of the third metastasis. Cutaneous metastases treated with intratumoural administration of cisplatin without electric pulses underwent only partial response. This study shows that electrochemotherapy with cisplatin is also effective in treatment of breast cancer metastases as it was already shown for electrochemotherapy with bleomycin.
