Abstract
Radiation therapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) continues to be controversial. Advances in both systemic therapy and radiation therapy techniques have changed the landscape of LAPC management in recent years. Clinical outcomes of ablative radiation therapy have been encouraging and randomized clinical trials may clarify the role of radiation therapy for LAPC. We present a contemporary critical review of key aspects regarding optimal patient selection, radiation dose escalation techniques, novel radiosensitizers and radioprotectors, and treatment response assessment for LAPC.
期刊介绍：
International Journal of Radiation Oncology • Biology • Physics (IJROBP), known in the field as the Red Journal, publishes original laboratory and clinical investigations related to radiation oncology, radiation biology, medical physics, and both education and health policy as it relates to the field.
This journal has a particular interest in original contributions of the following types: prospective clinical trials, outcomes research, and large database interrogation. In addition, it seeks reports of high-impact innovations in single or combined modality treatment, tumor sensitization, normal tissue protection (including both precision avoidance and pharmacologic means), brachytherapy, particle irradiation, and cancer imaging. Technical advances related to dosimetry and conformal radiation treatment planning are of interest, as are basic science studies investigating tumor physiology and the molecular biology underlying cancer and normal tissue radiation response.
