Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Pulsed Electric Field Ablation for the Treatment of Pancreatic Neoplasms

This clinical trial tests the safety and feasibility of endoscopic ultrasound-guided pulsed electric field ablation for the treatment of pancreatic neoplasms. Pancreatic cancer is a fatal disease that is difficult to diagnose at an early stage. The approach for pancreatic neoplasm treatment has changed and the recognition of minimally invasive treatments is growing. One such minimally invasive treatment, known as endoscopic ultrasound-guided pulsed electric field ablation, offers an alternative to surgery for managing certain precancerous or high-risk pancreatic cysts. The Aliya Pulsed Electric Field system uses brief, strong bursts of electricity, delivered through a thin needle, to destroy targeted tissue, such as tumors, without using heat. These electric pulses damage only the cells inside the treatment zone, leaving the healthy tissues and important nearby structures unharmed. This makes the treatment safer and less likely to cause harm to sensitive areas around the tumor. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided pulsed electric field ablation may be safe and feasible for the treatment of pancreatic neoplasms.
