Brief Summary:
Pancreatic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) could therefore be an alternative to the monitoring of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) and more particularly nonfunctioning PNETs (NF-PNETs), which is costly and anxiety-inducing for patients. To date, only a few small studies have evaluated this treatment and the results are encouraging. It appears necessary to consider a large-scale study to ensure the efficacy and low morbidity of pancreatic RFA applied to PNETs.
Detailed Description:
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of radiofrequency treatment of grade 1 NF-PNETS with a size less than or equal to 2cm.
Patients meeting the selection criteria will be included in the study after signing the consent. They will benefit from a RFA treatment consisting of 1 to 3 sessions depending on their response to the treatment. Patients will then be followed for 5 years in order to evaluate their response to treatment, their clinical evolution, their quality of life and any complications.
