The investigators are investigating the use of a new cancer treatment called Irreversible
Electroporation (IRE). This treatment delivers electrical energy between two needles placed
in a cancer. The electrical energy causes cells to die. While this has been used in patients
for different applications, the investigators are trying to understand how safe and well it
works in colon cancer that has spread to the lung. Once the irreversible electroporation
procedure is completed during the operation, the surgeon will then remove the cancer
according to standard procedure. As part of the study, they will be measuring safety of the
electrical energy delivered and will be reviewing the resected specimen under the microscope.
