Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: * Age 18 years or older * Capable of providing written and oral informed consent * WHO *2 * Meets criteria for advanced PHC o Local recurrent disease localized on the distal bile duct remnant, hepatico-jejunostomy or in the liver hilum without N2 lymph nodes or distant metastases . * Diagnosis of PHC or lymph node metastases must be confirmed with endoscopic brush, percutaneous- or laparoscopic biopsy, whichever is suitable, o Vascular or lymph node (N2) involvement on imaging or during staging laparoscopy Diagnosis of PHC or lymph node metastases beyond N2 stations must be confirmed with endoscopic brush, percutaneous- or laparoscopic biopsy, whichever is suitable o Vascular or lymph node (N2) involvement during exploratory laparotomy Must be confirmed with intra-operative frozen section

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: * Resectable PHC upon exploratory laparotomy * Locally advanced PHC eligible for liver transplantation (Appendix 3) * PHC with > 5 cm extension along the common hepatic duct or common bile duct * Metastases to peritoneum, liver or other organs confirmed by percutaneous biopsy, staging laparoscopy or intraoperative frozen section * Lymph node metastases beyond N2 stations (e.g. inguinal, mediastinal) * History of cardiac arrhythmia*s (any of the following) o Sinus tachycardia (BPM>100) o Sick sinus syndrome o Sinoatrial exit block o AV block o Sinus node reentry o Presence of a pacemaker or defibrillator * Recent history of myocardial infarction ( grade 2 NCI-CTC, version 3.0) * Epilepsy * Both narrowing (sclerosis) of the portal vein and a reduced diameter of either the common hepatic artery, celiac trunk or superior mesenteric artery of >50% * Any condition that is unstable or that could jeopardize the safety of the subject and their compliance in the study

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome is safety, defined as the total number of clinically relevant complications (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE], score of 3 or higher) within 90 days post-IRE.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcomes are the success rate of completing IRE, intra-procedural complications related to IRE, duration of hospital stay, quality of life, impact of IRE on post-procedural CT imaging and blood biomarker response, time between IRE and start of palliative chemotherapy, metal stent patency, progression-free and overall survival.
