Locally advanced pancreatic cancer - a complete morpho-metabolic response of primary tumor after non-surgical treatment
2022
Abstract
We describe a case-report of patient with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Chemotherapy (gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel) followed by chemoradiotherapy lead to long-term disease control and survival lasting 26 months.
However radiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer is controversial. There are studies which aims to identify subgroup of patients, in which adding locoregional therapy in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic will lead in improvement in survival.
