NCT02822066

Brief Summary

The pupose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of irreversible electroporation (IRE) for refractory neoplasms in liver and pancreas, the investigators used preoperative and postoperative US/CEUS/CT/MRI to assess lesions, and laboratory tests including the tumor markers to evaluate the general condition of patients. Intraoperative US/CEUS/CT would be applied to monitor ablation lesions.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 60 patients of refractory neoplasms in liver and pancreas with irreversible electroporation-related effectivity as assessed by MRI

    up to 24 months

Study Arms (1)

IRE for refractory neoplasms in liver and pancreas

EXPERIMENTAL

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of irreversible electroporation (IRE) for refractory neoplasms in liver and pancreas, the investigators used preoperative and postoperative US/CEUS/CT/MRI to assess lesions, and laboratory tests including the tumor markers to evaluate the general condition of patients. Intraoperative US/CEUS/CT would be applied to monitor ablation lesions.

Procedure: Electroporation
