Clinical Trials Darius Desai is currently running
NanoKnife IRE
for Pancreatic Cancer
This trial compares chemotherapy alone to chemotherapy plus an electrical pulse treatment in patients who have responded well to initial chemotherapy. The goal is to see if adding the electrical pulse treatment can better destroy cancer cells. Electrochemotherapy is a method that uses electric pulses to increase the uptake and effectiveness of chemotherapeutic drugs in cancer cells.

Surgical Excision Margins
for Melanoma
Patients with a primary invasive melanoma are recommended to undergo excision of the primary lesion with a wide margin. There is evidence that less radical margins of excision may be just as safe. This is a randomised controlled trial of 1 cm versus 2 cm margin of excision of the primary lesion for adult patients with stage II primary invasive cutaneous melanomas (AJCC 8th edition) to determine differences in disease-free survival. A reduction in margins is expected to improve patient quality of life.
