OncoSec’s minimally invasive ElectroOncology therapies utilize
its proprietary electroporation delivery system, called the OncoSec
Medical System (OMS), which applies short electrical impulses to
selectively targeted tumors and tissue in order to significantly
increase the ability of anti-cancer chemotherapeutic or biologic
agents to enter into cells. These treatments selectively destroy
cancer cells while preserving healthy tissue. They optimize
required dosage and potentially reduce treatment and post-treatment
costs.
