Abstract
Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) is used to treat locally advanced cancers, commonly of the pancreas, liver, kidney, and other soft tissues. Precise eligibility for IRE should be established in each individual patient by a multidisciplinary team based on comprehensive clinical, imaging, and laboratory assessment. Standardization of IRE technique and protocols is expected to improve safety, lead to reproducible outcomes, and facilitate further research into IRE. The present article provides a set of technical recommendations for the use of IRE in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer. J. Surg. Oncol. 2016;114:865-871.Entities:
