Irreversible Electroporation (NanoKnife) for the Treatment of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

Intérêt de l'électroporation irréversible Dans le Traitement de l'adénocarcinome du pancréas

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 20 (actual)

• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the use of irreversible electroporation in the treatment of locally advanced cancers of the head of pancreas with vascular spread. This technique would allow to treat the unresectable part of the tumor to make it more accessible for a secondary surgery.

Conditions

• Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
• Interventional Imaging

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	NanoKnife	The aim of the treatment is to sourround the tumour with two to six needles and to deliver a very high voltage current (3000 volts in 70 to 80 microseconds pulses) by a generator synchronized with an electrocardiogram.
