Core Tip |
Endoscopic ablation is a procedure with interesting potential for the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, functioning pancreatic endocrine tumours, and pancreatic cystic neoplasms in patients unfit for surgery. There is limited evidence regarding the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of such treatments. Both endoscopic ultrasound and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography have been employed to guide ablation with several chemo-physical agents (including alcohol-chemo ablation, radiofrequency ablation, and cryo-therm-ablation). However, evidence regarding the best treatment and the ideal clinical setting for ablation strategies is still lacking. In the multidisciplinary approach to pancreatic cancers, these emerging local ablation techniques will probably be the future for individualized patient treatments. |
