    I am also curious about treatments apart from Xeloda or Cis+Gem.

    Can Yttrium-90 microsphere radioembolization kill Cholangiocarcinoma cancer cells ?
    What are the side effects ?

    Has anyone on our discussion board been treated with IRE, nanoknife? If so, curious has to post recovery and results.

    Pattic…It’s a Nano knife ablation.

    Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) uses very high levels of heat to burn the cell. There are different technologies for RFA, but the fundamental idea is to use alternating current to create heat that results in cell destruction. With cryoablation, extremely low temperatures are used with a freeze-thaw cycle, which causes the cells to swell and burst. In contrast, IRE using the NanoKnife is a nonthermal method of destroying the cell.

    Is anyone familiar with Irreversible electroporation, IRE?
