EUS-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation: A Safe and Effective Alternative for Left Adrenal Tumors

Researchers conducted a study at Asan Medical Center to assess the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of EUS-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) for treating left adrenal tumors. The results were promising, with a 100% technical success rate in performing EUS-RFA. Most patients (73%) achieved a complete response after a median of 2 EUS-RFA sessions. Importantly, no moderate or severe adverse events were reported, indicating that EUS-RFA is a safe and effective alternative to surgery for patients at high surgical risk with left adrenal tumors.
