New hope for pancreatic cancer recurrence: targeted radiation trial underway
NCT ID NCT04881487
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding targeted radiation therapy (SBRT) to standard care helps people with pancreatic cancer that has returned only in the original area live longer and feel better. About 174 adults whose cancer came back locally after surgery will be randomly assigned to get SBRT plus usual care or usual care alone. The main goal is to see if the extra treatment extends survival after recurrence.
