484 eus-guided cryotherm ablation of stage iii pancreatic adenocarcinoma: a preliminary radiological perspective.

Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) has recently shown the feasibility and efficacy of different local treatments for pancreatic tumors. Cryotherm ablation is a hybrid bipolar ablative technique, combining radiofrequency thermal injury with the cooling effect of a cryogenic gas. Although this approach has been evaluated in preliminary trials, data on radiological perspectives, to improve necrosis depiction and reduce patients discomfort and costs are still lacking.
