Official title
Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Pancreatic Cyst Ablation With a Monopolar Radiofrequency Ablation Probe
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Pancreatic cysts (A cyst is a thin walled cavity containing fluid) were rarely reported previously, but have been on a rise due to advanced imaging for evaluating pancreatic lesions or other medical reasons has increased detection of pancreatic cysts. Study shows transformation of pancreatic cysts to be 10.8 for every 100,000 women and 13.8 for every 100,000 men. Pancreatic cysts are divided in two groups; serous and mucinous. Serous cysts are thin walled cysts and are not associated with precancer. On the other hand, mucinous cysts have a tendency to progress to pancreatic cancer. Radio frequency ablation (RFA) is an alternative method used for patients who could not or decided to not undergo surgical removal of the cyst. This study is a standard of care study and no changes in regards to the procedure scheduled with the physician will be changed.
