A Study of the Use of Irreversible Electroporation in Pancreatic Ductal Cancer

Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a process that uses the NanoKnife system to sent electrical currents to a cancer tumor which will disrupt the tumor cell and therefore causing the cell to die. Eligible patients will undergo in situ IRE performed via laparotomy surgery.

A system consisting of electrode probes connected to a machine. The probes will be surgically placed around the tumor.
