Title: The potential impact of mathematics in clinical oncology: the example of
electroporation ablation.
Abstract: Electroporation-based therapies (EPT) consist in applying high voltage short pulses to cells (typically several hundred volts per entimeter during about one hundred microseconds) in order to create defects in the plasma membrane. They provide interesting alternatives to standard ablative techniques, in particular for deep seated tumors (located near vital organs or important vessels). In this talk we present the rationale of electroporation and its modeling at different scales. We will also show that combining well-suited clinical workflow with mathematical models can help physicians.
