Percutaneous Cryoablation for the Palliation of Abdominal Pain Associated With Pancreatic Cancer
CUC10-PAN09 will evaluate the safety and efficacy of cryoablation therapy on the relief of
epigastric/abdominal pain associated with pancreatic cancer.
epigastric/abdominal pain associated with pancreatic cancer.
CUC10-PAN09 is a Supportive Care, Phase 1 multicenter, prospective, single arm study with
subjects serving as their own control. This study is to enroll patients who will undergo
cryoablation of the Celiac Plexus. Subjects will be followed for 3 months post their
cryoablation procedure.
Cryoablation is the process of destroying tissue by the application of extremely cold
temperatures. Galil Medical Cryoablation Systems are used as a surgical tool in the fields
of general surgery, dermatology (skin), neurology (nerves), chest surgery (including lung),
Ears-Nose-Throat (ENT), gynecology, oncology (cancer), proctology (colon/rectal) and urology
(kidney).
