Irreversible Elektroporation – ein neues Therapieverfahren auf dem Prüfstand

Fazit

Die IRE ist ein Ablationsverfahren, das aufgrund seiner molekularen, nonthermal-ablativen Wirkweise hohes Potenzial in der Tumortherapie besitzt. Im Menschen sollte es derzeit jedoch aufgrund des mangelnden Grundlagenverständnisses und der wenigen Belege für seine klinische Effektivität nur unter kontrollierten Studienbedingungen eingesetzt werden.
