Elvina Almuradova: A New Cohort Study Published in JAMA Oncology on Ablative Radiation for Resectable PDAC

Elvina Almuradova, Associate Professor of Oncology at the European Institute of Oncology, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“A new cohort study published in JAMA Oncology suggests that ablative radiation therapy (A-RT) may offer a nonoperative alternative for technically resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in patients with high surgical risk.
25 patients with resectable PDAC (median age 80, many with poor performance status) received A-RT (>97.5 Gy BED).
2-year outcomes:
Overall survival: 43.7%
Local progression: 20.8%
No grade 4+ toxicity
Implication: A-RT could be a viable option for patients where surgery is not feasible due to age or comorbidities.”
