The Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center at Virginia Tech is now offering a revolutionary, non-thermal treatment for equine sarcoids and melanomas called High-Frequency Irreversible Electroporation (H-FIRE). This cutting-edge technology uses electrical pulses to target and destroy tumor cells while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue, allowing for safer and more effective chemotherapy absorption. Performed on standing, sedated horses, H-FIRE eliminates the risks of general anesthesia and traditional muscle-twitching side effects, providing a vital new lifesaver for horses with aggressive skin tumors.
