in both France and Japan (Table 23.1). In addition to nanoelectroablation, several other laboratories
have been studying a variety of other applications of nsPEF, including platelet activation (Zhang
et al., 2008; Hargrave and Li, 2012) and decontamination (Schoenbach et al., 2000; Rieder et al.,
2008; Frey et al., 2013).
23.2.6 EnErgy rEquirEd VariEs witH tumor typE
Not surprisingly, the energy required to ablate a given tumor varies with the tumor type and delivery
system used (Table 23.2). Most of the data have been collected using pulse widths of 100–300 ns,
amplitudes of 30–60 kV/cm, and ...
