Killing Cancer With Electricity

The video discusses a high-stakes procedure at London's Princess Grace Hospital for treating pancreatic cancer using an experimental technique called nano knife. This method involves applying high voltage to create nano holes in cell membranes, effectively killing cancer cells without damaging surrounding tissue. Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers in the UK, with predictions of it becoming the leading cause of cancer deaths in the Western world. Current treatments like chemotherapy offer low survival rates, but combining them with nano knife technology can extend survival from 13 months to up to 23 months, although it is not a cure.

What is the significance of the voltage applied during the nano knife procedure?
