Irreversible electroporation of locally advanced pancreatic neck/body adenocarcinoma.
OBJECTIVE Irreversible electroporation (IRE) of locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma of the neck has been used to palliate appropriate stage 3 pancreatic cancers without evidence of metastasis and who have undergone appropriate induction therapy. Currently there has not been a standardized reported technique for pancreatic mid-body tumors for patient selection and intra-operative techniqu...
متن کاملCase report: Irreversible electroporation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
INTRODUCTION For patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma who are not candidates for surgical resection, long-term survival is poor, even with currently available systemic and radiation therapy options. However, for those with locally advanced disease who do not have distant metastasis, locoregional control of the tumor has the potential to improve long-term outcomes. A newly developed technolog...
متن کاملArterial complication of irreversible electroporation procedure for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a non-thermal ablation technique used especially in locally advanced pancreatic carcinomas that are considered surgically unresectable. We present the first case of acute superior mesenteric artery (SMA) occlusion secondary to pancreatic IRE procedure that has not been reported before in the literature. A 66-year-old man underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiother...
متن کاملRadiofrequency Ablation of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: An Evolving Comrade?
Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) presents a challenge for the surgeon due to its aggressiveness and to the stagnation of the management options in cases where complete resection is not feasible. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in PDAC is described by a few studies as a promising technique. Methods: We present our 12 years’ experience in locally advanced unresectable PDAC with a...
متن کاملIrreversible electroporation therapy in the management of locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
BACKGROUND Locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients have limited options for disease control. Local ablation technologies based on thermal damage have been used but are associated with major complications in this region of the pancreas. Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a nonthermal ablation technology that we have shown is safe near vital vascular and ductal structures. The aim of this ...
