Irreversible electroporation: evolution of a laboratory technique in interventional oncology [PDF]
Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, 2014 Electroporation involves applying electric field pulses to cells, leading to the alteration or destruction of cell membranes. Irreversible electroporation (IRE) creates permanent defects in cell membranes and induces cell death. By directly targeting IRE

Uncertainty Quantification in Irreversible Electroporation Simulations
Bioengineering, 2017 One recent area of cancer research is irreversible electroporation (IRE). Irreversible electroporation is a minimally invasive procedure where needle electrodes are inserted into the body to ablate tumor cells with electricity.

Irreversible Electroporation of Pancreatic Tumors
, 2017 Over 95% of pancreatic cancers are exocrine tumors that bare a dismal prognosis. Although oncological outcome is best for patients presenting with nonmetastatic resectable disease, cure is rarely achieved [1]. Up to 40% of patients present with nonmetastatic disease that is considered unresectable due to vascular encasement (locally advanced pancreatic

Irreversible electroporation: state of the art
OncoTargets and Therapy, 2016 The field of focal ablative therapy for the treatment of cancer is characterized by abundance of thermal ablative techniques that provide a minimally invasive treatment option in selected tumors. However, the unselective destruction inflicted by thermal ablation modalities can result in damage to vital structures in the vicinity of the tumor ...

Irreversible Electroporation in Hepatopancreaticobiliary Tumours
Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal, 2018 Hepatopancreaticobiliary tumours are often diagnosed at an advanced disease stage, in which encasement or invasion of local biliary or vascular structures has already occurred. Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is an image-guided tumour ablation technique that induces cell death by exposing the tumour to high-voltage electrical pulses.
