Using Electricity, Not Heat, to Ablate Tumors and Reinvigorate the Immune System

Using pulsed electric field ablation for resectable tumors helps not only kill the cancerous cells but might reinvigorate a patient’s immune system to fight back against their cancers.

  • 1

    Pulsed electric field ablation effectively kills cancer cells while potentially enhancing the immune system's response against tumors.

  • 2

    The Aliya system allows for a non-thermal approach to tumor ablation, promoting a more natural cell death and immune stimulation.

  • 3

    This procedure can be performed bronchoscopically or percutaneously, enabling outpatient treatment with minimal recovery time.

  • 4

    Aliya is FDA approved for various cancers and can be used in conjunction with biopsies and subsequent surgical interventions.

  • 5

    The technology is particularly beneficial for tumors near critical structures and for patients with metastatic disease.
