For patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer, the combination of chemotherapy and stereotactic
ablative radiation (SABR) may be a promising treatment option, ultimately allowing them to undergo surgery that may not otherwise be an option, according to research presented today at the American Society for Radiation Oncology's (ASTRO's) 56th Annual Meeting.
«Chemotherapy and stereotactic
ablative radiation consecutively may be promising for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.»
The stereotactic
ablative radiation therapy (SABR) was used to treat inferior vena cava tumor thrombus (IVC - TT) that reached the heart, a complication of kidney cancer in which the tumor extends into the venous system − the system of veins that return blood to the heart.
