Benefitial role of electrochemotherapy in locally advanced pancreatic cancer-radiological perspective
POLISH JOURNAL OF RADIOLOGY(2022)
Abstract
Irreversible electroporation (IRE) of locally advanced pancreatic cancer is an increasingly used method for unresect-able pancreatic cancer that can be used in cytoreduction followed by surgical treatment and shows promising results in palliative care. IRE is an ablative technique where electric pulses cause damage to the cell membrane leading to apoptosis without the destruction of stroma. The application of IRE increases the concentration of hydrophobic regimens like bleomy-cin within the tumor, what could improve the effectiveness of treatment. This fusion of those two treatments is called electrochemotherapy. In this review, the authors will discuss the radiological perspective of possible beneficial role of irreversible electroporation in relation with chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer treatment.
