Hi. I’m 74 with a main duct IPMN dispersed throughout and 15 mm dilation of pancreas The only treatment I was offered was a Total Pancreatectomy. In my research I found that while not eligible for radio ablation there was a treatment for non alcohol based chemablation. You can research the CHARM clinical trial. I will be having the procedure next week. While it is not a cure I hope it will provide more years of quality life. Feel free to private message me.

Thanks for the reply! I will definitely check out CHARM. I've read about the use of ethanol, but nothing about a non-alcohol ablation. I did note that Ohio State University is running a trial on the redio therapy ablation, but I'm no where near Ohio.

Thanks!
