Research progresses in irreversible electroporation for treatment of malignant tumors
Irreversible electroporation(IRE)technology may induce cell apoptosis without generating thermal effect nor vascular structure injuries through electric fields,which has better therapeutic effect when combining with chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy,hence becoming a new option of treating malignant tumors.The mechanisms of IRE and relative research progresses for treating malignant tumors were reviewed in this article.
