Brief Title: Improving REsectability in Pancreatic NEoplasms (IRENE)
Official Title: Interventional Multicentric Study Without Medicine, in Patients Affected by Locally Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: Stereotactic Radiotherapy.
Study ID: NCT03460925
Brief Summary: Evaluation of clinical response in terms of resectability of patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus stereotactic body radiotherapy.
Detailed Description: Aim of the study is to define the percentage of patients with down-staging and clinical response after having undergone stereotactic radiotherapy + chemotherapy with neoadjuvant intent for locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma or "borderline resectable" at the time of diagnosis. The study evaluates the response to therapy in terms of resectability, of acute and delayed treatment-related toxicity, of overall survival and progression-free survival and also assesses patient's quality of life.
