Brief summary
The pupose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of irreversible electroporation (IRE) for refractory neoplasms in liver and pancreas, the investigators used preoperative and postoperative US/CEUS/CT/MRI to assess lesions, and laboratory tests including the tumor markers to evaluate the general condition of patients. Intraoperative US/CEUS/CT would be applied to monitor ablation lesions.
