Popis:	Radio frequency ablation (RFA) involves use of thermal energy to perform ablation of tissues. It has a wide range of application in gastrointestinal tract. Over the last few years, several studies have reported successful and safe application in the biliary and pancreatic tissues. It is particularly beneficial in patients with biliary malignancies in whom it has shown to improve survival. Additionally, it can be applied in occluded metal stents secondary to tumor ingrowth to prolong the patency of stents. In pancreas, RFA can successfully ablate cystic lesions and neuroendocrine tumors. It has also been applied in unresectable pancreatic cancers. This review discusses the application of endobiliary and pancreatic RFAs.
