Official Title: Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation of Pancreatic Cysts - A Safety and Efficacy Trial (ERASE Study)
Brief Summary:
This clinical trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) for the management of patients with pancreatic tumors (including cysts) performed during recommended surveillance endoscopic ultrasound examinations.Pancreatic tumors (cysts) can progress to pancreatic cancer at rate of more than 25% per year risk.Pancreatic cancer is a fatal disease that is difficult to diagnose at an early stage, and the five-year survival rate is currently less than…
