Michael Chuong: NRG ONCOLOGY international consensus RadOnc contouring atlas for inoperable pancreatic cancer now in press 

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!”
