*CBA: Cytometric bead array; ELISA: enzyme linked immunosorbent assay; FCM: flow cytometry; IRE: irreversible electroporation; IHC: immunohistochemistry; HCC: hepatocellular carcinoma; NA: not available; PC: pancreatic cancer; ↑: the cells or cytokines increased after IRE

↓: the cells or cytokines decreased after IRE.
