ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND GUIDED RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION FOR NEUROENDOCRINE TUMORS: A SINGLE CENTER CASE SERIES

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been used to treat abdominal tumors. Pancreatic tissue is particularly sensitive to external insults, including heat, leading to slower adoption of RFA for pancreatic tumors.RFA provided survival benefit in unresectable pancreatic cancer patients. EUS-guided RFA (EUS-RFA) in the pancreas of animals is feasible, with an acceptable incidence of pancreatitis suggesting its use for managing small pancreatic...
