Core Tip
Core tip: In this study, we report the case of a 66-year-old female patient with liver metastasis from pancreatic cancer who underwent irreversible electroporation and chemotherapy and showed a complete response after the combination therapy. Our findings suggest that irreversible electroporation plus arterial infusion chemotherapy and tegafur may be synergistic, providing a reference for treating liver metastasis from pancreatic cancer.
