      <study_design>Randomization: Not randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: In the irreversible electroporation method, we only need to place one or more needles in the desired area and around the tumor, and after placing these needles, 80 to 100 pulses with a duration of 100 microseconds will be applied and finally the needles will be removed. In the reversible electroporation method, the chemotherapy drug, whose dosage and possibility of use have been checked before, is injected as IT or IV. 5 to 15 minutes after drug injection, it will be possible to apply stimulation, so during this time, we will place the electrodes in the right place and after this time, we will apply electrical pulses. Applying the pulse increases the permeability of the cell membrane and the cell will receive a much higher dose than usual. For example, according to reports, the penetration of bleomycin has increased up to 5000 times.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: ABC Intervention group: Receiving electroporation in addition to the usual treatment. Definition of intervention: In cases where the tumor is inoperable, the patient will be assigned in the intervention group and will be treated with electroporation technique under the supervision of the surgeon in the following two cases: 1) Tumor through the skin can receive the electroporation technique and does not require open surgery. 2) In order to reach the tumor site, before receiving the electroporation technique, surgery should be performed to access the tumor and then the technique should be performed for the patient during the operation. In each treatment group, the patients received bleomycin with a dose of 1000 IU/ml and manufactured by the company. BDR Pharmaceuticals India and intravenously or intratumorally, eight minutes before electroporation. Then, electric pulses are inserted into the tumoral tissue through electrodes made of 316 stainless steel, which are biocompatible and have a medical grade, and with a thickness of 300 micrometers, which are either needles or plates, depending on the size of the tumor and the discretion of the study leader. Establishing electric pulses with a field intensity of 100 V/cm to 2000 V/cm and with a width of 1 to 100 microseconds and an alternating number of pulses will create holes in the cell membrane to increase the permeability of bleomycin. The pulse generating device is made in Iran by Nano Hesgarsazan Salamat Arya Company. Intervention 2: Control group: In this group, patients receive only the standard and routine treatment prescribed by a specialist doctor.</i_freetext>
