The Cover Feature illustrates a potential use of EChT ( E lectro Ch emical T reatment of tumors and cancers), which displays many enticing features such as its simple technique, an ability to be highly specific in targeting, its ability to be minimally invasive, and its use when many oncospecific treatments are unable to be safely used such as for the treatment of tumors in which surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy has been ineffective or deemed overly harmful. EChT has been applied to many superficial cancers and can now target internal cancers. More information can be found in the Review by C. O'Brien and A. Ignaszak.
