Microwave Ablation Combined With Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer Oligohepatic Metastasis

Effectiveness and Safety Evaluation of Microwave Ablation Combined With Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer Oligohepatic Metastasis: A Prospective, Single-center, Single-arm, Phase II Clinical Study

This study is a prospective, single center, single arm, phase II clinical study in patients with liver metastasis after radical resection of pancreatic cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical value of microwave ablation combined with chemotherapy for liver metastasis after radical resection of pancreatic cancer about overall survival, and to determine the feasibility and safety of the scheme.

Microwave ablation, as one of the important treatment methods of liver metastases, has the advantages of radical effect, small trauma and rapid recovery.Microwave ablation combined with chemotherapy aims to improve the quality of life and prolong the survival time.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical value of microwave ablation combined with chemotherapy for liver metastasis after radical resection of pancreatic cancer about overall survival, and to determine the feasibility and safety of the scheme.
