I also have been looking into ablation. I am 81 and have multiple cysts in the pancreas - 2 of which are suspicious for malignancy with thickened walls. And, high CA 19-9 and CEA. However, three biopsies have failed to show more than high dysplasia. I am not a candidate for complete pancreatectony. Ablation seems the only proactive option out there. RFA is what is likely. The CHARM trials exclude anyone with suspious neoplasms/characteristics. The procedure doesn't address anything except the cyst fluids according to the doctors I've talked to. I am working with the Hoag Clinic, Dr. Kenneth Chang for a second opinion. They are reviewing my tests to see if partially removal of the suspect cysts is an option and RFA ablation as a secondary procedure if surgery is out. The doctor who was involved with ablations at the Mayo Clinic in AZ where I am staying is currently on indeterminate leave, so CA is the closest recognized facility who is involved with ablation. Good luck.
