Abstract
454 Background: The purpose of this prospective, non-randomized phase II single-institution study was to evaluate if local control can be achieved with reasonable acute and late GI toxicity using fractionated SBRT in patients with unresectable, recurrent, or residual locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). Methods: A total of 24 patients with LAPC were enrolled from June 2013 to August 2014. Eligibility required stability after induction chemotherapy or residual disease or local failure after surgery. Induction chemotherapy regimens consisted of: (1) gemcitabine alone (8%); (2) gemcitabine-based regimens (17%); (3) FOLFIRINOX-based regimens (63%); or (4) combination regimens (13%). Chemotherapy was discontinued one week prior to SBRT. Patients received a median cumulative dose of 33 Gy in 5 fractions (5-6.6 Gy/fraction). Patients were permitted to resume chemotherapy one week post-SBRT. Toxicity was assessed using the NCI CTCAE version 4.0. Results: Of the 24 patients, 58% were male and 50% had tumors ...
