Pulse Electrical Field Ablation: Lung Cancer Applications & Benefits
Pulsed electric field (PEF) therapy is an emerging cancer treatment that utilizes short electrical pulses to disrupt tumor cell membranes, leading to cell death—all without the risk of thermal damage seen in traditional ablation. How does this novel approach compare to gold-standard treatments like stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in primary and metastatic lung cancer? Find out in this episode of the BackTable Podcast featuring NYU radiation oncologist Dr. Benjamin Cooper, radiology professor Dr. William Moore, and cardiothoracic surgery professor Dr. Daniel Sterman.

About
Dr. William Moore specializes in diagnosing and treating lung conditions, with a particular focus on lung cancer, at NYU Langone. His expertise spans the interpretation of imaging and the performance of minimally invasive procedures, such as biopsies and ablations. These procedures often do not require incisions and are typically performed with moderate sedation, allowing for faster recovery times. With years of experience and a commitment to using cutting-edge techniques, Dr. Moore strives to provide the highest level of care to his patients.
Throughout his career, Dr. Moore has been actively involved in research, particularly in the areas of lung cancer and information technologies. His work aims to advance the field of thoracic imaging and improve patient outcomes through innovative approaches. As one of the busiest thoracic interventionalists in the United States, he perform hundreds of procedures each year, always prioritizing the wellbeing and comfort of his patients.
Dr. Moore's journey into medicine was profoundly influenced by his father's experience with lung cancer, which continues to drive his passion for this field. He earned his medical degree from Albany Medical College, completed my residency at Stony Brook University Medical Center, and pursued fellowships in thoracic radiology and informatics at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and Stony Brook University Medical Center. Dr. Moore was fortunate to have the late Donald Harrington, MD as a long-term mentor during his training, which has greatly shaped his approach to patient care.
At NYU Langone, my Dr. Moore and his team are committed to providing coordinated care. They take the time to listen to their patients, understand their concerns, and explain their conditions and treatment options in a clear and accessible manner. By working closely with each patient, they develop personalized treatment plans that align with their individual needs and goals, fostering a sense of empowerment and informed decision-making throughout the entire process.
