ABSTRACT
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is one of the solid cancers associated with the poorest prognosis; the only curative treatment remains surgical resection but in most cases, this treatment is not possible because of distant metastasis or local extension. Irreversible electroporation is a new tumor ablation technique, which provides cellular apoptosis without any thermal coagulation effect. This technique helps preserve the ducts, vessels or nerves located in the treatment area. This article reviews the current knowledge regarding the use of electroporation for the treatment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
