Summary

This study looks at how well electrochemotherapy (using electric pulses to boost chemotherapy) works for bone tumors that can't be removed with surgery. Researchers will track tumor size changes and pain levels in 60 patients over 12 months. The goal is to see if this treatment can control the disease and improve quality of life.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study will include patients older than 2 years with a diagnosis of musculoskeletal tumors who are indicated for electrochemotherapy, treated at the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute in Bologna and followed during outpatient follow-up. Data will be collected from medical records, outpatient reports, and imaging studies (CT, X-ray, MRI, and/or PET). The retrospective part will include patients treated at the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute from January 1, 2024, to the date of study approval. The prospective part will enroll patients meeting the inclusion criteria who will be treated from the study start date until December 31, 2030.
