Tu1555 A NEW PROMISING TREATMENT FOR GASTROINTESTINAL CANCER: IRREVERSIBLE ELECTROPORATION ABLATION AS AN ALTERNATIVE THERAPEUTIC METHOD

Irreversible electroporation (IRE) has recently been conceived as a new minimally invasive ablation method, using microsecond electric fields to produce nanoscale defects in the cell membrane bilayer and induce cell death while keeping all other molecules, including the extracellular matrix, intact. Here, we present a in vivo study that examines the effects of IRE on the stomach, an organ whose collateral damage is of particular concern in the anticipated use of IRE for treatment of abdominal cancers.
