This book provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical use of irreversible electroporation (IRE) - better known by its commercial name, NanoKnife - which is one of the most exciting new needle-guided cancer treatments. The coverage includes the history of IRE, general technique, preclinical research, applications in clinical practice and early clinical results, and future perspectives. Contraindications, treatment planning, potential complications, follow-up imaging, and other practical aspects are fully discussed, with highlighting of useful tips and tricks.
Through the delivery of short but highly intense electrical pulses, IRE results in tumor cell membrane permeabilization, causing cells to go into apoptosis. The minimally invasive nature of IRE, combined with the prospect of completely eradicating tumors while preserving delicate structures in the ablation zone, makes IRE the object of worldwide clinical research. This book will be of value for practitionersand trainees in interventional and diagnostic radiology, surgery, medical oncology, HPB and gastroenterology, urology, and radiation oncology.
Hester Scheffer, MD is a senior-researcher at the VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam and one of the key opinion leaders in the field of irreversible electroporation research. Having conducted extensive translational research she was the first to prove actual cell death in the clinical setting caused by irreversible electroporation. In the preclinical setting, she focuses on electrical field modeling and the thermal component of irreversible electroporation, whereas in the clinical setting she coordinates several large trials on the efficacy of hepatic and pancreatic irreversible electroporation and she is the author of the only issued systematic review on irreversible electroporation. Together with Dr. Meijerink she is the founder of a worldwide network for irreversible electroporation research in the field of interventional oncology.
