A member asked:
Can a pre cancerous pancreatic cyst pe treated with etoh injection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Ethanol injections have been used in small liver lesions and occassionally other isolated but small tumors with questionable advantage. Injecting into a pancreatic cyst might induce an inflammatory process leading to pancreatitis. If the cyst is small and precancerous, excision is the optimum approach.
