Abstract :
A new method of electric pulse treatment (EPT) for cancer is presented. The methods used in animal experiments and for clinical studies of esophageal cancer treatment are described. The results show that the techniques of electric pulse treatment for cancer have produced success in both 34 rats and 6 cases of esophageal cancer
