简要总结
The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of electrochemotherapy followed by conventional systemic treatment compared to the only systemic treatment in LAPC in terms of objective response. The use of ECT and IRE, in deep cancer e.g. liver and pancreas, currently requires a laparotomy surgical approach and limits its applicability due to the risks associated with open surgery. In our study a new generation of electrodes suitable to treat tumor nodules with ECT with a minimally invasive approach, i.e. laparoscopic surgery, will be used.
