5. Study Description

Brief Summary
the study evaluate the efficacy and safety of EUS-RFA using Habib EUS-RFA catheter with a prospective randomised trial in patients with inoperable PDAC.
Detailed Description
The five year survival for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is less than 5% in spite of the advances in management of cancers in the last few decades. Endobiliary application of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been developed in our unit and used in patients with unresectable bile duct and pancreatic head adenocarcinomas presenting with biliary obstruction. Various techniques of EUS-guided tumour ablation have been described, including RF ablation, photodynamic therapy, laser ablation, and ethanol injection. Endoscopic ultrasound guided RFA (EUS-RFA) of the pancreatic head using Habib EUS-RFA catheter through a 19-gauge needle was well tolerated in 5 Yucatan pigs and with minimum amount of pancreatitis .
