Role of Radiation Therapy in Locally Advanced Disease (LAPC)?

No survival benefit with RT Only 60% included in 2 nd randomization Local control benefit with RT With better chemotherapy, perhaps RT would have a larger impact Hummel et al, JAMA 2016 16
What Is The Role of Neoadjuvant Therapy in LAPC? - LAP 07 Study 449 patients (4%) underwent a curative-intent resection Eleven patients (2.5%) had an R0 resection Median OS was 30.9 months Can we increase the proportion of patients getting surgery with improved systemic therapy and IMRT or SBRT? Hammel et al 2016, JAMA Benefits of SBRT vs. Standard Chemoradiation Shorter duration of radiation (3-5 days vs. 30 days) Improved quality of life Limit delay of chemotherapy and time to surgery Easily combined with other modalities Higher resection rates??
