First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a higher-than-standard dose of radiation, given with chemotherapy, can shrink pancreatic tumors enough to allow surgery. It involves 47 adults with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed initially. The goal is to see if this approach helps more patients become candidates for surgery and live longer.
