Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old diagnosed with pancreatic cancer who are eligible for soft tissue ablation.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with cardiac pacemakers, non-removable metal implants near the target lesion, or those unsuitable for general anesthesia may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to create a comprehensive registry to gather clinical and pathological data on patients with pancreatic cancer undergoing irreversible electroporation (IRE) treatment. By collecting insights on treatment selection and outcomes, the study seeks to establish an evidence base that can guide physicians in providing optimal care for patients requiring surgical interventions. The registry will also track adverse events and complications associated with IRE treatment to enhance understanding of its safety and efficacy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could improve treatment strategies and outcomes for patients with pancreatic cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies involving registries for cancer treatments have shown success in improving patient outcomes and treatment protocols, indicating that this approach is promising.
