EUS-Guided Ablation (RFA and MWA) for Pancreatic and Other Gastrointestinal Lesions Registry

May 30, 2026 updated by: Shailendra Singh, West Virginia University

Prospective Observational Registry of EUS-Guided Ablation (RFA and MWA) for Pancreatic and Other Gastrointestinal Lesions

This is a single-center, investigator-initiated, prospective observational registry that will collect longitudinal clinical data on adult patients (≥18 years) undergoing endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or microwave ablation (MWA) for pancreatic and other gastrointestinal/hepatobiliary lesions as part of routine clinical care. The registry will not alter standard-of-care management. Data will be abstracted from the medical record and routine clinical systems. Primary outcomes include change in target lesion size on clinically obtained imaging and overall survival following ablation. Secondary outcomes include changes in tumor biomarkers, adverse events, non-target lesion changes, and patient-reported symptoms.

Study Population

The purpose of this registry is to create a longitudinal clinical dataset describing patients who undergo EUS-guided RFA or MWA as part of routine care and to explore clinical outcomes and factors associated with those outcomes.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adults ≥ 18 years of age.
  • Diagnosis of a pancreatic premalignant lesion or malignancy, and other gastrointestinal or hepatobiliary lesion for which EUS-guided ablation is planned as part of standard clinical care.
  • At least one clinically identified target lesion for which RFA or MWA is performed.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • In the judgment of the treating clinician, inclusion in the registry would not be appropriate
  • The individual is expected to be unable to complete routine clinical follow-up.
