Ablative therapies have been increasingly utilized in the treatment of soft tissue tumors. Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is an energy delivery system, effective in ablating tumors by inducing irreversible membrane destruction of cells.
Over the last few years the technology has been adopted by different medical disciplines via percutaneous or surgical approach with promising clinical outcomes.
In this live webinar you will learn interventional strategies to deal with these patients.

adnan A. are these IRE pancreas ablations In-situ ablations or for margin enhancement being done at the same time as surgical resection. thx A
Villar J. Question from Dr. Mata (Spain). How many studies are currently on going in resectable pancreatic cancer?
Javad E. It was good. For me the most important aspect was coverage of topic from different points of view . I lost the online webinar for the sake of job matteres but hopefully watched its record finally. Thanks a lot .
