NCT ID NCT05961982
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a less invasive procedure called endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) to treat pancreatic cysts that have a high risk of turning into cancer. About 84 adults with pancreatic cysts at least 2 cm in size and showing concerning features will receive this treatment. The goal is to shrink the cysts by at least half and reduce the need for risky surgery or frequent monitoring.
