Kevin T. Watkins, MD, explains how irreversible electroporation, or NanoKnife technology, is used to treat advanced pancreatic tumors.
Kevin T. Watkins, MD, chief of upper gastrointestinal and general oncologic surgery at Stony Brook University Hospital, on Long Island, is a pioneer using irreversible electroporation (IRE) to remove pancreatic tumors. Dr. Watkins was the first surgeon in the world to use IRE technology to treat pancreatic cancer. In the past two years he has treated more than 20 patients with pancreatic cancer at Stony Brook with IRE, some who traveled thousands of miles to Stony Brook for the surgery. The treatment is a last-hope option for patients who have run out of other options, and whose cancer has not spread to other areas of the body.What people say.
