“…To date, four articles have been published on the use of cryoablation in the context of LAPC, two in an open [61,62] and two in a percutaneous setting [12,63]. As monotherapy, cryoablation demonstrated a mOS of 12.6 months [63], and in combination with internal radiotherapy a mOS of 16.2 months [12] was noted (neither article specified whether OS from diagnosis or treatment). Niu et al were the only group reporting on sole percutaneous cryoablation and included patients with stage II (n = 3), III (n = 11), and IV (n = 18) PDAC whose tumor was deemed unresectable [63].…”

“…all stages). In order to overcome potentially incomplete destruction at the ablation border, Xu et al described percutaneous cryoablation in combination with brachytherapy in LAPC (n = 49), demonstrating a mOS of 16.2 months with a 6% severe complication rate [12]. The freezing process can injure delicate parenchyma including the duodenum, bile ducts, or blood vessels, resulting in inflammation, fistulas, abscesses, or bleeding.…”
