  Objective: In order to make such a substance cross the epidermal barrier, was utilized a method of transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) combined with the chemotherapeutic etoposide in the treatment of dorsal melanoma B16F10 tumor on C57BL/6J mice. Methods: The treatment groups were as follows: etoposide followed by radiofrequency (RF); RF followed by etoposide; etoposide and controls. The animals were treated with delivery interval of 72 hours, for 20 days and were analyzed the tumor growth; weight and hematological profile. The histological analysis and cell cycle by flow cytometry were performed after end of the treatment period. Results: The tumors treated with RF followed by etoposide showed slower growth compared to the tumors treated with etoposide followed by RF, and found that treatment with radiofrequency con..
