Endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol and radiofrequency ablation of pancreatic insulinomas: a systematic literature review
Background: Insulinoma is the most common neuroendocrine neoplasm of the pancreas, characterised by hypoglycaemic symptoms. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) and ethanol ablation (EUS-EA) are novel methods for treating insulinoma. We aimed to perform a systematic review...

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) and ethanol ablation (EUS-EA) are novel methods for treating insulinoma. We aimed to perform a systematic review to assess the efficacy and safety of EUS-guided ablation techniques for pancreatic insulinomas. Methods: We systematically searched for articles detailing EUS-guided ablations of insulinomas. We performed a qualitative analysis and summarised data on the efficacy and safety of EUS-RFA and EUS-EA techniques. Results: In total, we identified 35 case reports and case series describing 75 patients with insulinomas treatment with EUS-guided ablation. Twenty-seven patients were treated with EUS-RFA, 47 patients with EUS-EA, and 1 patient received EUS-EA and EUS-RFA in the same session. In total, 84 insulinomas were ablated (EUS-RFA: 31, EUS-EA: 53). Most insulinomas were in the head of the pancreas (40%). The clinical success rate for EUS-guided ablation techniques was 98.5%. The median glucose level was 1.95 (Q1-Q3: 1.69–2.13) mmol/L before ablation compared to 6.20 (Q1-Q3: 5.30–7.05) mmol/L after treatment. The median insulin and C-peptide levels before and after RFA/EA were 230 (Q1–Q2: 120–257) pmol/L and 41 (Q1–Q2 35–42) pmol/L; 2077 (Q1–Q2 1644–2459) pmol/L and 819 (Q1–Q2 696–1072) pmol/L, respectively. There were eleven adverse events: seven abdominal pain, two mild acute pancreatitis, one necrotising acute pancreatitis and one local hematoma. All patients recovered, and there were no periprocedural deaths. Conclusions: EUS-guided ablation of insulinoma seems to be a safe and effective treatment and is an alternative to surgical resection in selected cases.Ghassan El SayedLevente FrimJamie FranklinRaymond McCruddenCharles GordonSafa Al-ShammaSzabolcs KissPéter HegyiBálint ErőssPéter Jenő HegyiSAGE PublishingarticleDiseases of the digestive system.
