What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Background Pancreatic cancer is one the leading causes of cancer-related death in Canada. Approximately 40 percent of patients with pancreatic cancer present with locally advanced pancreatic cancer and are not candidate for curative surgery. The optimal management of patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer remains unknown. Most patients are treated with chemotherapy alone and role of local treatment such as radiation is not well defined. Other conventional ablative therapies such as thermal ablation and cryoablation have limited role in locally advanced pancreatic cancer due to the risk of collateral damage to the adjacent structures. Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a novel non-thermal ablation technology that does not cause injury to nearby blood vessels, ducts, and bowel and has potential to provide longer disease control and thereby a better overall survival.
