Summary
PROJECT SUMMARY: Pancreatic cancer accounts for approximately 3% of all cancers in the United States and approximately 7% of all cancer related deaths. New treatment paradigms are direly needed. Emerging tumor ablation techniques have shown significant promise. This proposal will focus on High-Frequency Irreversible Electroporation (H-FIRE), which delivers a series of electric pulses through electrodes inserted directly into the tumor to produce structural defects in the target cell membrane resulting in cancer cell death. The objective of this proposal is to utilize our mouse and novel pig pr
