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.
