Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study involves the enrollment of patients over 2 years of age with a diagnosis of musculoskeletal tumors and an indication 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 including CT, X-ray, MRI, and/or PET.

For the retrospective part of the study, patients treated at the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute from 01/01/2024 to the date of approval of this study will be included. For the prospective part, patients meeting the inclusion criteria and treated from the study start date until 31/12/2030 will be enrolled.
