The standard treatment is surgical resection, but it carries significant risks, including pancreatitis and diabetes mellitus. This study investigates the efficacy and safety of percutaneous ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as an alternative to surgery. A total of 29 dogs diagnosed with insulinoma were treated with RFA, targeting both primary pancreatic tumors and metastases in regional lymph nodes or the liver. Blood glucose levels and tumor size were monitored before and after the procedure. RFA led to a significant increase in blood glucose levels and a reduction in tumor size in all patients, with minimal postoperative complications. The results suggest that RFA is a feasible and effective treatment option for insulinomas in dogs. info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 2.7 2024 VETERINARY SCIENCES 21 / 170 = 0.124 2024 Q1 T1 AGRICULTURE, DAIRY & ANIMAL SCIENCE 15 / 86 = 0.174 2024 Q1 T1 0.733 2024 Veterinary (miscellaneous) 2024 Q1 Animal Science and Zoology 2024 Q1 5.2 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Corda, Andrea de Blas, Ignacio Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-1204-4356 Gago, Lucas Fernandes, Telmo Rodríguez-Piza, Ignacio Balañá, Beatriz Corda, Francesca Gómez Ochoa, Pablo Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5504-1393 1009 773 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
