Irreversible electroporation is a nonthermal ablation technique that uses a high-voltage electric current to create nanosized pores in the cell membrane of a malignant tumor, thus resulting in cell death. In recent years, an increasing number of clinical studies have shown that irreversible electroporation is a safe and effective treatment for prostate cancer. We describe the progress of irreversible electroporation in prostate cancer in recent years in terms of its mechanism of action, clinical studies, advantages and disadvantages and summarize the gaps in existing studies and directions for future research.
