Authors' objectives:
Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a nonthermal ablative method based on the application of short high-voltage and low-frequency electric fields to destroy tissue. The purpose of the assessment is to evaluate the relative effectiveness and safety of IRE for locally advanced pancreatic cancer and hepatic cancers that are contraindicated for thermal ablation, in comparison to the standard care.
