OF SOLID CANCER ACCORDING TO DR.MED RUDOLF PEKAR
(ECT=ElectroChemicalTherapy) This technic is a possible source of
treatment of solid tumors like melanomas, cancer of the breast, cancer of
the prostatic gland, cancer of the tongue and others by using platin-electrodes
which are implanted into the tumor or by using small platin plates for
superficial dermal cancers and using DC- electric currency. As a result of
this electric currency an electro-chemical reaction will take place at the
tumorsite, and there will also be a change in the electric field and
polarisation of cancercells, cancercells will be destroyed, fibrous tissue
will replace the destroyed cells. In the ultimate range of exposition to
the electric currency no reacurrence of cancer has been found. The chance
of Metastases may be reduced, but cannot be guaranteed. Dr.Rudolf Pekar
has reastablished and improved this kind of therapy during the last 30
years. Today it is used in various countries like Sweden, Germany,
Switzerland and China.

Using ECT (ElectroChemicalTherapie according to
Dr.Pekar) for treatment of Prostatic-Cancer
ECT provides a possible effective
minimal invasive treatment for initial or progressed cancer of the
prostatic gland using electricity provided by a DC-device. Using local
anaesthesia 2 electrodes made out of platin are inserted via the perineum
into the prostatic gland. Then a currency of 7-7.5 Volt is administered
for about 40 minutes. At the end of treatment the electrodes are removed.
Sideeffects like mild haematuria or impairment of urination can be
possible, but as we have seen in over 30 patients so far (observationperiod
till 6/01), these sideeffects never happened.
It is also possible to combine ECT with other means of
treatment like local Hyperthermia, operation, radiation, androgenblocking
etc. with more or less good results, that is extending the period of
remission.

In these figures we did not include a possible
differentiation of the preliminary stages of each case.
Advantage of ECT:
Nearly painfree treatment
No severe sideeffects
No impairment of libido
No hospitalisation
Patient is mobile immediately after treatment
able to work within the next day
Disadvantage of ECT:
Relapse is possible
Later on metastasis is possible

Using ECT (ElectroChemicalTherapy) for treatment of squamous cancer of the
tongue and ECT in combination with Surgery and Chemotherapy for treatment
of recurrent Cancer of the floor of the mouth
A case report
Bacowsky
Helmut*
Male patient born 1930, 190cm, 80kg
27.4.1998:
first visit of the patient for treatment of an squamous cancer of the
tongue
Case history: since 2 years slowly increasing tumour of the tongue, right
rim
Inspection: rather indurated tumour right laterobasal of the tongue,
approximately 2,5x1x0,5cm in size, no lymph nodes involved, no suspect
lesions in the floor of the mouth.
27.5.1998:
First treatment was done by ECT (ElectroChemicalTherapy) during intubation
anaesthesia. We used 4 platinelektrodes, which have been inserted right
into the tumour, a direct currency was applied for 50 minutes (V= 10-14,
mA= 80-45, C=600) plus an additional 15 min. using graphite elektrodes for
surface treatment. Already during treatment typical signs of ECT occurred
(change in colour, necrosis).
Further treatment at home consisted of immunmodulation.
13.7.1998:
Follow up investigation showed a bland scar at the treated site with a
slight induration compared with the rest of the tongue. Immunmodulation
was continued.
1.12.1998:
Follow up investigation: bland scar. Immunmodulation was continued.
15.11.1999:
Follow up investigation reveals a suspect induration of the right part of
the floor of the mouth, located near the chin. A biopsy was taken and
histologic examination revealed a squamous epithelial cell carcinoma.
Inspection of the tongue brought no pathological findings.
A 3 months local and systemic treatment with Ukrain did not show any
satisfactory results as was confirmed by echo and MRT.
15.3.2000:
Surgical exstirpation of the tumour plus 40 min. treatment of the open
wound by ECT (V=14, mA=45-80, C=300). After ECT, adaptation of the wound´s
edges. Immunmodulation is continued. (pict.1,2)

Relapse, ulceration, (pict.3,4)
Once more ECT during intubation-anaesthesia was performed according to
the wish of the patient. We used 5 platin- electrodes, which have been
inserted right into the ulcerated tumour, DC was applied for 60 minutes
(V= 12-15, mA= 120-80, C=800) plus an additional 20 min. using graphite
electrodes for surface treatment

10.6.2000:
Interferon A 15000 I.U. locally every, immunmodulation with ASI.
10.7.2000: ECT, continuing local Interferon A 15000 I.U. application every
day, immunmodulation with ASI.
14.9.2000:
Starting Chemotherapy with the following regime:
Taxol 200mg, Paraplatin 150mg
5.10.2000: Taxol 200mg, Paraplatin 150mg
2.11.2000: Taxol 200mg, Paraplatin 150mg
Subsequent follow ups showed healing in progress.
23.7.2002:
CT was performed with application of contrast: no suspect area for
recurrence, no suspect lymph nodes of the neck area.
15.9.2002:
complete remission

Conclusion:
The above described treatment procedures were performed on the wish and
with the consent of the patient. It shows a possible alternate route to
the state of the art techniques – surgery, radiation - performed routinely
in patients with tongue carcinoma and primary/or recurrence carcinoma of
the floor of the mouth. The major advantage of a combined approach of so
called additive techniques with established therapies (in this case ECT
with Chemotherapy) is giving the patient a chance of higher quality of
live during remission. The possible impairment of speaking-, eating-,
drinking- functions which may happen, when extensive radical surgery and
radiation is performed, are avoided. Disadvantage is that there is no
guaranty of possible future relapses or metastases, and because of lack
of numbers no statistic is available, that this combined method may be of
benefit for other patients with similar problems.
