Versatile Irreversible Electroporation – Summary
Phillip Stricker, MBBS, explores irreversible electroporation (IRE), a novel non-thermal ablative technique, in the treatment of prostate cancer, highlighting its versatility and efficacy. To begin his presentation, Dr. Stricker reviews the IRE procedure, which involves inserting electrodes into the prostate under image guidance (typically ultrasound or MRI), and patient selection criteria.
Dr. Stricker continues by discussing the promising clinical outcomes of IRE, and advancements in IRE technology.
