| Core Tip |
Pancreatic cancer has an extremely poor prognosis. In particular, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy may be ineffective for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) because of its resistance to these modalities. In this retrospective study, 24 LAPC patients were treated with cryoablation at our hospital. The outcomes show that cryoablation can directly inactivate LAPC and boost immunity, thus delaying tumor progression, alleviating pain, improving quality of life, and prolonging survivals. Therefore, it is a safe and effective treatment option for LAPC that deserves wider adoption in clinical settings. |
