pubmed:abstractText |
The clinical course of patients with pancreatic carcinoma remains dismal despite the recent advances of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. One of the main causes is residual carcinoma cells, especially at the retroperitoneal aspect after pancreatectomy. Radiation therapy (RT) [intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) and external radiation therapy (ERT)] is a therapeutic strategy to conquer the remaining cancer cells.
