Summary/Conclusion

The preoperative diagnostic work-up must be comprehensive and the selection process must be rigorous for this therapeutic approach reserved for small ductal unifocal cancers. After 23.3 months median follow-up, the clinical results of IOERT for selected patients are encouraging for locoregional recurrence rate and toxicity rates. The satisfaction of our patients in terms of quality of life was extremely high.

Summary/Conclusion

The outcomes for patients receiving IOERT in the setting of local recurrence compare favorably to similar cohorts treated by local resection alone suggesting the potential for improved DFS with IORT.

Number of Patients

Summary/Conclusion

Although the rate of IBTR was within pre-specified equivalence margin, the rate was significantly greater than with EBRT, and overall survival did not differ between the groups. Improved selection of patients should reduce the rate of IBTR with IOERT.

Summary/Conclusion

Well-selected patients with LAPC with small tumors and low Charlson age-comorbidity indices can achieve good long-term survival outcomes with a treatment regimen that incorporates chemotherapy and IORT.
