| Core Tip |
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been proposed as a local treatment for functional pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms in patients unfit for surgery. However, data on safety and long-term effectiveness are scarce and procedures are not standardized. The present case series reports 3 elderly patients with comorbidities diagnosed with a pancreatic insulinoma who received local treatment by EUS-guided RFA with a standardized protocol, with clinical success in terms of hypoglycemic symptoms over a relatively long follow-up. Effective EUS-RFA represents an alternative to surgery for the treatment of insulinoma in elderly patients at high surgical risk. However, larger multicenter studies with longer follow-up are needed in order to assess the safety and clinical success of this treatment. |
