Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) for Treating Recurrent Pelvic Tumors (PELFIRE Study)

Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) of Recurrent Pelvic Tumors: the PELFIRE Study.

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 28 Aug 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this single-center observational cohort study, based on a registry combining retrospectively and prospectively collected data, is to investigate the short- and long-term effects of irreversible electroporation (IRE) in men and women over the age of 18 who receive IRE for recurrence of pelvic tumors not suitable for other local treatment options such as surgery, thermal ablation, and radiotherapy. The main question it aims to answer is whether IRE is safe in this population, and secondarily, whether it is effective in controlling local tumor recurrence.
