Core Tip	Pancreatic cancer is a serious clinical challenge associated with high morbidity and mortality. Treatment options for non-resectable or high-risk patients are limited. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) is an emerging therapeutic approach, albeit with certain limitations. Tong et al highlighted the role of EUS-RFA in pancreatic cancer treatment in their recent review.
