    1 Draft recommendations

    1.1 Evidence on the safety of irreversible electroporation for treating prostate cancer is limited. Evidence on its efficacy is inadequate. Therefore, this procedure should only be used in the context of research. Find out what only in research means on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.

    1.2 Further research should preferably be in the form of suitably powered randomised controlled trials with an appropriate comparator. It should include details of patient selection, details of the procedure (including imaging) and short- and long-term outcomes.
