The importance of local control in pancreatic cancer

Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology volume 9, pages 9–10 (2012)Cite this article

Subjects

The ECOG E4201 study adds another piece of information to a growing body of evidence pointing strongly to the importance of local control and the role of radiotherapy in unresectable pancreatic cancer. Based on this evidence, we believe radiotherapy should be used routinely in this setting.boxed-text
