چکیده
April 30, 2015 | ARS 2015 [1] We discerned no significant improvements with the addition of radiation therapy in these patients with resected pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with modern adjuvant chemotherapy, but statistical power was limited. The eventual results of the ongoing Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) study RTOG 0848 will provide definitive data regarding the appropriate role for radiation in the era of modern adjuvant chemotherapy.

The prognosis for pancreatic cancer remains poor and curative treatment currently involves multimodality therapy including resection. Effective systemic therapy regimens with or without radiation are needed; however, an optimal treatment paradigm is not clearly defined. Adjuvant therapy clinical trials are evaluating the potential benefit of targeted agents and the addition of radiation to syst...
