Purpose
TREATMENT
Masking
NONE
Device: NanoKnife The aim of the treatment is to surround the tumour with two to six needles and to deliver a very high voltage current (3000 volts in 70 to 80 microseconds pulses) by a generator synchronized with an electrocardiogram.
The success rate of the technique, being the realisation of the irreversible electroporation.
The study will be considered positive if the success rate is above 90% and the complication rate below or equal to 30%
Time frame: At Day 0
