Irreversible Electroporation(IRE) For Uterine Cervical Neoplasms

Irreversible Electroporation(IRE) For Unresectable Uterine Cervical Neoplasms: Phase I and Phase II Clinical Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of irreversible electroporation (IRE) for unresectable Uterine Cervical Neoplasms.

By enrolling patients with unresectable Uterine Cervical Neoplasms adapted to enrolled criteria, this study will document for the first time the safety and the short and long term efficacy of percutaneous IRE for unresectable Uterine Cervical Neoplasms.
