AHPBA Pancreatic Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) Registry for Pancreatic Cancer
The purpose of this study is to create a registry to provide insight into treatment selection and treatment outcome of pancreatic IRE in order to develop an evidence base such that physicians can provide the best possible care to patients with pancreatic cancer requiring surgical interventions.
The investigators seek a better understanding of the uses of ablation in the treatment of unresectable soft tissue pancreatic tumors and the limitations, concerns and complications that earlier users have.
Inclusion: Adult patients (greater than 18 years of age) diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that are eligible for soft tissue ablation per the treating physician.
Exclusion: Non-removable implants with metal parts near target lesion; Myocardial infarction within 3 months prior to enrollment; Have a cardiac pacemaker or ICD implant; Not suitable for general endotracheal anesthesia.
