Brief summary

This is an open-label, multicenter, prospective study of irreversible electroporation (nano knife) combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

Interventions

PROCEDUREIrreversible electroporation

Patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer diagnosed by cell / histopathology will receive nano knife treatment if the target lesion is not suitable for surgical resection or the target lesion is suitable for surgical resection but patients give up surgery and choose nano knife combined with chemotherapy. Patients who have not previously received first-line chemotherapy will receive systemic chemotherapy for 4-6 cycles of treatment. Imaging evaluation will be performed every 6-8 weeks (± 7 days) during chemotherapy.
