Abstract

Pancreatic cancer is famous as "the king of cancer" due to its high degree of malignancy, rapid course of disease development, and poor prognosis. Relevant epidemiological studies have indicated that with improvement in people's standard of living, the morbidity and mortality of pancreatic cancer has increased. At the same time, the disease shows an obvious upward trend worldwide. Pancreatic cancer has become a major public health problem that seriously affects the life and health of people. The present review focuses on the recent advances in interventional therapy such as transcatheter arterial infusion, radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, and irreversible electroporation of pancreatic cancer.

Keywords: Interventional therapy; Pancreatic cancer; Progress.
