Pancreatic Radiofrequency Under High Echo-endoscopy in the Management of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Radiofrequency ablation: RFA is performed under general anaesthesia, under high endoscopic echo-endoscopy (EEH), in left lateral decubitus position, using the StarMed generator from Taewong®.
Study summary
Pancreatic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) could therefore be an alternative to the monitoring of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) and more particularly nonfunctioning PNETs (NF-PNETs), which is costly and anxiety-inducing for patients. To date, only a few small studies have evaluated this treatment and the results are encouraging. It appears necessary to consider a large-scale study to ensure the efficacy and low morbidity of pancreatic RFA applied to PNETs.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Treatment response — 1 year
Complete response rate to radiofrequency treatment defined by the absence of enhancement with the contrast agent and/or the disappearance of the lesion on imaging.
