Abstract

Endoscopic ultrasound radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) is the newer technique, which is minimally invasive, more selective and safer in patients with unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). We did systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of EUS-RFA in the treatment of unresectable PDAC, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNENs) and other pancreatic tumors.
