The role of radiotherapy in locally advanced pancreatic cancer

Résumé

At diagnosis, about 15% of patients with pancreatic cancer present with a resectable tumour, 50% have a metastatic tumour, and 35% a locally advanced tumour, non-metastatic but unresectable due to vascular invasion, or borderline resectable. Despite the technical progress made in the field of radiation therapy and the improvement of the efficacy of chemotherapy, the prognosis of these patients remains very poor. Recently, the role of radiation therapy in the management of pancreatic cancer has been much debated. This review aims to evaluate the role of radiation therapy for patients with locally advanced tumours.
