Abstract

Pancreatic cancer is associated with severe abdominal pain, which significantly impacts the quality of life. Celiac plexus block (CPB) is an effective interventional procedure for managing this pain. This case report presents a 80 year old male patient with advanced pancreatic cancer who underwent CT-guided anterior approach for celiac plexus block, highlighting the procedure’s effectiveness and safety.
