just ran across this paper Link2 (2006)

"We used a pulse-forming network with an impedance of 75 Ω. It consists of 30 pairs of high voltage capacitors and 30 inductors arranged in a Blumlein configuration, and generates a 300 ns long high voltage pulse "

and here's how it works:
"When the needle array is inserted into a melanoma for a couple of minutes and removed, the melanoma continues to grow normally (Figs. 3H–M). However, if 100 pulses (8 kV, 300 ns, 0.5 Hz) are administered to the needle array prior to removal, the melanoma begins to shrink within 2 days (Figs. 3O–T). Blood flow to the tumor is disrupted after pulsing as red blood cells leak out of capillaries surrounding the tumor (Fig. 3P). Local blood flow usually does not recover for about two weeks. Two days after pulsing, the stratum corneum shows signs of necrosis and hemorrhage with accompanying superficial erosion of the epidermis and the tumor becomes darker (Fig. 3Q). "

High voltage. Literally saving our lives.
And the community says that it has no practical advantages other than power distribution.
