Borderline resectable pancreatic cancer.
Rigorous criteria to define "borderline resectable" pancreatic cancer are required for appropriate patient accrual into clinical trials that examine the utility of chemotherapy and/or chemoradiation that will be delivered prior to pancreatic resection for exocrine cancer. At our institution, tumor abutment of less than or equal to 180 degrees (< or = 50% of the vessel circumference) of the supe...
متن کاملIntraoperative Radiation “Boost” to the Surgical Resection Bed following Pancreaticoduodenectomy for a Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Carcinoma: A Case Report
Neoadjuvant therapy including chemotherapy alone or concurrent chemotherapy with external bream radiation is a standard treatment strategy for borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma and is also used routinely for primary operable cancers at some institutions (1). The use of intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) has been limited largely because of the logistical issues in delivery of ...
متن کاملNeoadjuvant Therapy for Resectable and Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer
The majority of patients with localized pancreatic cancer (PC) who undergo surgery followed by adjuvant therapy will develop metastatic disease, suggesting that surgery alone is not sufficient for cure and micrometastases are present even when are not clinically detected. As such, the delivery of early systemic therapy may be a rational alternative to a surgery-first approach, in an effort to p...
متن کاملA Single-institution Experience with Open Irreversible Electroporation for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Carcinoma
BACKGROUND Locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma (LAPC) is characterized by poor prognosis despite recommended concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Irreversible electroporation (IRE) has emerged as a potential option for the management of unresectable pancreatic cancer. This study was conducted to evaluate the safety and short-term efficacy of open IRE for the treatment of LAPC. METHODS Retrospectiv...
متن کاملNovel approaches to 'borderline resectable' pancreatic tumors.
In this issue of ONCOLOGY, Shah and colleagues, through their instructive case report, draw our attention to an important area—borderline resectable pancreatic cancer—that has historically not been a major focus of the literature.[1] The authors describe the case of a 40-year-old man with an adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head with involvement of the superior mesenteric vein–portal vein (SMV-...
