Long-term Results of Intraoperative Electron Beam Irradiation (IOERT) for Patients With Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer

Abstract

A treatment strategy employing IOERT has resulted in long-term survival in 8 of 150 patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer. Survival benefit was limited to patients with small tumors. Enrollment of selected patients with small tumors into innovative protocols employing this treatment approach is appropriate.
