Conditions

Pancreatic Tumor

Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the oncological efficacy of pancreatic radiofrequency by the objective response rate (complete and partial responses according to RECIST 1.1.), 5 years after the end of treatment.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, longitudinal, open, non-randomized, non-interventional, multicenter study on ultrasound-guided radiofrequency endoscopy for the treatment of pancreatic tumours. The study will be offered prospectively to all patients in need of treatment. They will be taken care of in accordance with current practice. The patient will be seen again 7 times after the end of the pancreatic radiofrequency (which will include one or two sessions): the follow-ups will be done according to current practice on D15 ± 7 days, M6 ± 14 days, M12 ± 1 month then annually until M60 ± 1 month. The study consists to evaluate the oncological efficacy at 5 years of pancreatic radiofrequency delivered by means of a needle guided by ultrasound endoscopy.

Interventions

PROCEDUREPancreatic radiofrequency

Pancreatic radiofrequency is similar to a puncture under echoendoscopy. The lesion is located then punctured by transgastric or transduodenal route either using a 19 gauge needle with exchange of the stylet for a probe, or using a 19 gauge needle whose distal end of 5-10 mm corresponds to the active part, connected to a generator with an integrated cooling system.
