Induction gemcitabine and oxaliplatin therapy followed by a twice‐weekly infusion of gemcitabine and concurrent external‐beam radiation for neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer

Abstract

The current results indicated that induction GEMOX followed by CRT is feasible in patients with LAPC. Both those with borderline resectable disease and those with unresectable disease received clinical benefit, a chance to obtain resectability, and improved survival. The authors concluded that this protocol warrants further evaluation.
