Rapid dramatic alterations to the tumor microstructure in pancreatic cancer following irreversible electroporation ablation.

NanoKnife(®) (Angiodynamics, Inc., NY, USA) or irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a newly available ablation technique to induce the formation of nanoscale pores within the cell membrane in targeted tissues. The purpose of this study was to elucidate morphological alterations following 30 min of IRE ablation in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer. ⋯ This imaging assay offers the potential to serve as an in vivo biomarker for noninvasive detection of tumor response following IRE ablation.
