    Pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) are increasingly detected, with IPMN and MCN being notable for their malignant potential.

  • 2

    Current management of PCLs faces challenges, including imperfect risk stratification and the burden of long-term surveillance.

  • 3

    Endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) is emerging as a minimally invasive treatment option for high-risk PCLs.

  • 4

    EUS-RFA combines precise targeting with thermal ablation, offering advantages over traditional surgical interventions.

  • 5

    The clinical value of EUS-RFA relies on further evidence-based data and standardization to establish its efficacy and safety.
