IMMUNOTHERAPEUTIC METHODS USING ELECTROPORATION

Abstract: methods for treating tissue with irreversible electroporation and immunotherapy are described. the methods include placing a probe in tissue within a human body, wherein the probe has at least a first electrode, applying a plurality of electrical pulses through the first electrode and a second electrode, causing irreversible electroporation (ire) of the tissue within a target ablation zone, and administering one or more exogenous agents into the tissue within the target ablation zone or to the human, thereby stimulating or otherwise modulating an immune system response within the body.
