Long-term study of radiofrequency treatment for pancreatic tumors
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study follows adults over time who are treated for a pancreatic tumor using ultrasound-guided radiofrequency through a thin needle. It aims to understand what happens after treatment and how patients do, so future care can improve.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether heating (radiofrequency) treatment guided by a special ultrasound scope can control small pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It may help patients whose tumors are very small and do not release hormones.
This trial tests a procedure that uses an endoscope and ultrasound to heat (radiofrequency ablate) pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It may help shrink tumors while aiming to be a less invasive option.
This trial is a database study that collects information from people who are referred for a procedure using endoscopic ultrasound and heat energy to treat a tumor or enlarged lymph nodes. Your data may help doctors learn how well this treatment works in different situations.
This study tests how safe and effective endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) is for treating pancreatic growths that might become cancer or already are cancer. It is for people who are already scheduled to have this procedure as part of their care.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a device that delivers carefully timed “radiofrequency heat” through the body can slow or control metastatic (spread) pancreatic cancer. You may qualify if you have newly diagnosed metastatic pancreatic cancer and can meet safety and blood-test requirements.
This trial combines two treatments for advanced pancreatic cancer that hasn't spread: a special endoscopic procedure that uses heat to destroy cancer cells (radiofrequency ablation) and a standard chemotherapy drug combination (FOLFIRINOX). The goal is to see if this combination is safe and can help control the tumor better than chemotherapy alone.
