Phase II Study of Induction Chemotherapy with Gemcitabine plus 5-Fluorouracil Followed by Gemcitabine-Based Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Unresectable Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

Abstract

The CRT approach of this study is moderately active and has an acceptable toxicity profile. However, the incorporation of combination CT into CRT at the present schedule could not produce any additional benefit over CRT alone. Newer agents with more systemic activity are clearly warranted.
