Abstract
Irreversible electroporation of locally recurrent pancreatic cancer with 5-year survival
Highlights
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in men and women in the United States [1]
irreversible electroporation (IRE) is currently used for locally-advanced, unresectable pancreatic cancer with promising results
This case serves as an example that IRE can contribute to enhanced long term survival for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, including those with isolated local recurrence

Patients with isolated recurrent pancreatic cancer are uncommon and have limited treatment options. IRE is currently used for locally-advanced, unresectable pancreatic cancer with promising results. This case serves as an example that IRE can contribute to enhanced long term survival for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, including those with isolated local recurrence
