First seen Mar 27, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study is testing a procedure called EUS-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for people with pancreatic tumors that cannot be removed by surgery. A thin needle is passed through an endoscope into the tumor and uses heat to destroy cancer cells. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for controlling the disease. About 30 adults with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors or pancreatic ductal carcinoma will take part.
