RECRUITING

Outcomes of Ablation of Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer Using the NanoKnife Irreversible Electroporation System-

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the short and intermediate term safety of the NanoKnife Irreversible Electroporation System when used off-label to treat unresectable pancreatic cancer. In addition, the study will evaluate the efficacy of this device in treating pain associated with unresectable pancreatic cancer. Quality of life post-procedure will also be collected.
