Core Tip	In the current state of knowledge, the most commonly used technologies in locally advanced pancreatic cancer are radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, and irreversible or reversible electroporation combined with low doses of chemotherapeutic drugs. Our purpose is to report an updated overview of these techniques, highlighting the advantages and limitations of each technology.
