Superficially metastatic melanoma still represents a challenging situation for oncologists and a distressing condition for patients. In this circumstance, local treatment by electrochemotherapy, that is, the combination of brief permeabilizing electric pulses with a low-toxicity anticancer drug, can be a valuable treatment option in selected patients who are ineligible/refractory to systemic treatments or require rapid palliation of symptomatic cutaneous disease.
