Michael Chuong, GI Section Editor for the International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics, shared an article on LinkedIn:
“NRG ONCOLOGY international consensus dose escalated RadOnc contouring atlas for inoperable pancreatic cancer now in press!
- Step-by-step recs for anatomically derived elective target volume.
- Dose escalation regimens are suggested.
- Will be used by the upcoming randomized ph3 NRG GI011 trial for LAPC that requires targeting gross tumor AND elective regions.
- Impressive 2-year LC of 80-87% that we at Miami Cancer Institute and others have reported after ablative RT for unresectable tumors likely achieved through BOTH dose AND volume escalation.
- We are making progress treating this challenging disease!”
