Claim 7:
8. A system comprising:
a generator to operably couple to at least one electrode, a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the generator is capable of applying one or more electrical pulses to the at least one electrode to deliver the electrical pulses to a patient;
a current output monitor to operably couple to the generator, the current output monitor capable of collecting data relating to electrical current resulting from one or more of the delivered electrical pulses; and
the memory comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine a change in a current parameter of the electrical current data collected by the current output monitor over a time required to deliver the one or more electrical pulses, and based on the change in the current parameter determine if the patient is expected to respond to a subsequent immunotherapy procedure.
