Precision Radiotherapy to Make Pancreatic Tumors Removable
A clinical trial tests a precision radiation technique called intensity-modulated radiation therapy against locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
Adding A Noninvasive Surgical Technique to Standard Treatment for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
In this observational study, researchers are looking at whether irreversible electroporation (also known as IRE) added to standard treatment is more effective at treating pancreatic cancer. How IRE Works Irreversible electroporation (brand name NanoKnife) is a method of removing body tissue using high-energy pulses of electricity. The electrical pulses create permanent pores in the membranes…
