Irreversible electroporation of lung neoplasm: A case series
BACKGROUND Percutaneous irreversible electroporation (IRE) of lung tumors is a new minimally invasive technique which has recently been used in the treatment of soft tissue tumors. CASE REPORTS The case histories are presented of two patients with unresectable malignancies in the lung, who underwent irreversible electroporation as a treatment attempt. The procedure was performed under CT guid...
متن کاملTumor Ablation with Irreversible Electroporation
We report the first successful use of irreversible electroporation for the minimally invasive treatment of aggressive cutaneous tumors implanted in mice. Irreversible electroporation is a newly developed non-thermal tissue ablation technique in which certain short duration electrical fields are used to permanently permeabilize the cell membrane, presumably through the formation of nanoscale def...
متن کاملCase report: Irreversible electroporation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
INTRODUCTION For patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma who are not candidates for surgical resection, long-term survival is poor, even with currently available systemic and radiation therapy options. However, for those with locally advanced disease who do not have distant metastasis, locoregional control of the tumor has the potential to improve long-term outcomes. A newly developed technolog...
متن کاملPanhypopituitarism and lung neoplasm: a case study.
Pituitary metastases occur in between 1% and 1.5% of patients with malignant tumors. Metastases was first described in 1857 in the autopsy of a patient with disseminated melanoma. Since then, only 500 other cases have been reported, most frequently found in patients with advanced cancer, particularly breast and lung cancer. Pituitary metastasis usually appear in patients over the age of 60, reg...
