Phase I Study to Evaluate the Feasibility of Neoadjuvant Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Resectable Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreatic Head and/or Body
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of focused radiation (Stereotactic Body
Radiation Therapy, SBRT) on patients with pancreatic cancer that will be removed surgically.
Radiation Therapy, SBRT) on patients with pancreatic cancer that will be removed surgically.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age >18 years.
- Histologically confirmed pancreatic adenocarcinoma of the head and/or body; at least
the majority of the histopathologic specimen must be identified as adenocarcinoma.
- Pancreatic tumors must be considered resectable at time of treatment planning.
Definition of resectable: no metastases, less than 180 degree involvement of superior
mesenteric vein or portal vein, no involvement of hepatic artery, superior mesenteric
artery or celiac artery
- No active infection requiring hospitalization
- Adequate labs
- Life expectancy > 3 months.
- Patient is to have received chemotherapy prior to enrollment. This will typically
consist of 3-4 cycles of chemotherapy. Patients will have a 2 week break between last
chemotherapy administration and start of SBRT.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Presence of metastatic disease.
- Infections requiring systemic antibiotic treatment.
