This machine is the first of its kind in the entire country. In this treatment, multiple needles or probes are inserted into the tumor using image guidance. After this step, a very high voltage is applied between the probes. This opens up tiny holes or ‘nanopores’ in the wall of the tumor cells resulting in leaking of cell material and ultimately cell death. The advantage of this technique over other existing methods of cancer treatment is that it can even be used when the cancer is close to blood vessels or the biliary system or other vital structures.
