Core Tip This article highlights the evolving role of endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Advances in energy delivery, probe design, and real-time imaging have enhanced the safety and precision of EUS-RFA. When combined with chemotherapy, EUS-RFA shows promise in improving survival outcomes and symptom control. Moreover, its immunomodulatory effects offer a novel rationale for combination with immunotherapy. Despite encouraging results, further randomized trials and standardization of protocols are needed to establish EUS-RFA as a mainstream component of pancreatic cancer treatment.
