Abstract
Plasma pharmacokinetics of Adriamycin (doxorubicin) has been studied after intraneoplastic administration during electrochemical treatment to patients with lung cancer that is noncurable with radiotherapy, surgery, or chemotherapy. Intraneoplastic administration of Adriamycin via the anode resulted in a dramatic change of the pharmacokinetic pattern in plasma as compared with what has been previously observed after intravenous administration. A fivefold reduction of the area under the plasma concentration time curve and a 25-fold reduction of the maximum plasma concentration was observed.
