Branch Association of Radiation Oncology of Shanghai Medical Association Consensus on stereotactic body radiation therapy for pancreatic cancer
Branch Association of Radiation Oncology of Shanghai Medical Association, Group of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy, Branch Association of Radiation Oncology of Shanghai Medical Association
Abstract Pancreatic cancer is a life-threatening and lethal malignancy with a 5-year survival rate of only approximately 9%. Despite that immunotherapy or targeted therapy has been confirmed effective in other cancers, limited survival benefits have been achieved in pancreatic cancer. Therefore, surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are still the main regimens of pancreatic cancer. Owing to that most of the patients have locally advanced or advanced pancreatic cancer at the initial diagnosis, radiotherapy is a pivotal local therapy for prolonging patients' survival and improving the quality of life. Given that stereotactic body radiation therapy has been gradually used in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, a consensus on stereotactic body radiation therapy for pancreatic cancer is required. Under the promotion of Radiation Oncology Society of Shanghai Medical Association, the consensus on stereotactic body radiation therapy for pancreatic cancer has been formulated based on the latest research and practice in stereotactic body radiation therapy for pancreatic cancer combined with national conditions in China, aiming to promote the standardization of stereotactic body radiation therapy for pancreatic cancer, and eventually provide favorable outcomes for pancreatic cancer patients.
