Neoadjuvant therapy for ‘borderline’ tumors
Available data is mixed bag:
– Definition of „borderline‟ imprecise
– Variety of chemo & chemoXRT regimens
About 40% of pts in most series come to surgery
Survival among resected pts compares very favorably to pts who are resectable at outset

5–74% of pts undergoing a margin-negative resection
Numerous reports have demonstrated an R0 resection as the most important determinant of overall survival in pts with PDA, illustrating the importance of accurate preoperative staging.
The use of neoadjuvant therapy in pts with locally advanced pancreatic cancer appears to provide a higher rate of R0 resections (85–94%) compared with pts treated with surgery alone.

•Only 66 (41%) of 160 total pts had their tumors removed.
•When dealing with such complex surgery, which carries a risk of perioperative death (2
[3%] of 66 in this report), it is critically important to reserve operation for pts most likely
to benefit.

21 studies: 2 meta-analyses, 13 randomized trials, and 6 nonrandomized trials.
Recent data favor limited irradiation to the tumor volume (level C).
Fluorouracil is still the reference chemotherapy in association with radiotherapy (level B1).
Induction chemotherapy before chemoradiotherapy improves survival (level C).
Huguet et al JCO 2009
CRT vs best supportive care
•Chemoradiotherapy increases overall survival when compared
with best supportive care (level of evidence C) or with exclusive
radiotherapy (level B1), but is more toxic (level B1).
CRT vs RT
2 meta-analyses concluded that there was a significant benefit of chemo-radiotherapy on
overall survival, with, in the Sutana et al. study, a 31 % decrease in tumor-related deaths
after chemoradiotherapy compared with RT Huguet et al JCO 2009

Pts with locally unresectable pancreatic cancer
Randomized chemoradiotherapy with concurrent gemcitabine followed by gemcitabine versus gemcitabine alone.
RT dose = 50.4 Gy with concurrent gemcitabine (600 mg/m2/wk).
The study closed after the inclusion of 74 pts because of low accrual rate.
Median overall survival was better in the chemoradiotherapy arm (11 months versus 9.2 months, P .034).
Grade 4 toxicity was more common in chemoradiotherapy arm compared with the chemotherapy arm (41.2% v 5.7%, respectively; P.0001).
These results should be considered cautiously because of the limited number of patients included.

•using capecitabine and delivering RT to a limited radiation field that excluded non-involved
regional LNs from the CTV.
•EBRT 50.4 Gy/ 28 F to PTV which expanded from the primary tumor and involved nodes

•Capecitabine (500-600 mg/m2) was given twice daily continuously during RT .
•One pt developed grade 3 nausea.
•The median time to progression was 8.8 mo, with 20% remaining progression free at 1 yr.
•The median overall survival was 9.7 months with a 1 year survival of 30%.
•Of 21 pts with imaged progression, 13 (62%) progressed systemically, three (14%) had
local progression, two (10%) had locoregional progression and three (14%) progressed
with both local/locoregional and systemic disease.
•Four pts (8.3%) did not complete the intended treatment due to CRT-related
toxicities.
•A multi-centre retrospective analysis of 48 pts with biopsy-proven LAPC
treated with CRT in four regional oncology centres in the UK between March
2000 and October 2007.
•The prescribed RT dose was 45-50.4 Gy/ 25-28 F and was given concurrent
with gemcitabine (n =37), gemcitabine/cisplatin (n= 9), 5-fluorouracil (n = 1)
or capecitabine (n = 1).
•The disease control rate (Objective response rate (ORR), stable disease (SD))
= 81.3%.
•The median overall survival was 17 mo (range 5-66 mo).
•In subgroup analysis, a trend towards improved survival was seen in pts who
completed the intended treatment (17.1 months vs 11.0 months, P < 0.06) and
in pts undergoing Sx (27 mo vs 16 mo, p < 0.023).

Set up
– Supine, arms above head
– IV contrast
– Breath hold CT and 4D CT
RT dose: 45-54 Gy in 1.8-2 Gy/F to the gross tumor and gross lymph nodes
•The patients were scanned in supine position within personal body-fi x
pillow (BlueBAG BodyFix, Insight Technologies, Nevada, USA).
•During the scans, patients breathed freely, with the advice to maintain
a breathing cycle as regular as possible.
•The CTV consisted of the pancreatic or suspected tumor and regional
lymph nodes considered radiologically involved and/or PET positive; no
prophylactic nodal irradiation was planned.
•Daily correction of patient set-up by MVCT using HT
has been routinely performed
•4D-PTVs were smaller than STD-PTVs with a volume reduction equal to
37%.
The 4D-PTV was obtained using the following contouring procedure: a CTV was manually contoured on each respiratory phase, resulting in four different CTVs; a 4D-ITV ( “ Internal Target Volume ” ) was created by the convolution of these four contours, using the Eclipse TPS, and then expanded by a margin of 5/5/7 mm to obtain a 4D-PTV.
The standard PTV creation entailed the expansion of an intermediate phase CTV by 10/10/15 mm into the STD-PTV to account for mobility and set-up; the use of an intermediate phase reduces the contribution to the positioning error related to periodic motion of the tumor.

PET for delineation target?
There is currently no evidence defending the use of PET for TV delineation in pancreatic cancer.

Results: 50 pts were accrued in 2 institutions.
Dose limiting toxicities in 11 pts (G3/4 anorexia, nausea vomiting, and/or dehydration [7 pts]; duodenal bleed [3]; duodenal perforation [1]). 2 pts died of causes possibly related to therapy.
Other G3/4 toxicity: neutropenia: 18%, thrombocytopenia: 4%, nausea 2%, and vomiting 1%.
The median and 2-yr OS =14.8 mo (95% CI 12.6-22.2) and 30% (95% CI 17-45).
Only 8 pts (17%) progressed locally.
The 2-yr freedom from local progression =59% (CI 32-79).
29 (63%) progressed with DM at a median of 10.2 months.
12 pts have undergone resection (10 R0, 2 R1).
Pathologic responses were CR: 2, near-CR: 3 and PR: 7.
Pts who underwent resection had a median survival of 32 mo and local control of 92%. Conclusion: High dose RT (55-57.5 Gy) with concurrent FDR-G can be delivered safely. This regimen can convert pts to resectability and results in high rates of pCR/nCR, local control and survival. The results suggest that intensification of local therapy may improve survival in a subset of pts with unresectable tumors.

- A retrospective analysis of resected pts who had undergone chemoradiotherapy.
- 45 pts (13 with proximal and 32 with distal disease) underwent resection
plus RT (to tumor bed + regional LN; porta hepatic, pericholedochal, celiac,
pancreaticoduodenal, median dose = 50.4 Gy).
- The median follow-up was 30 mo for all pts and 40 mo for survivors.
-Results: Of the 45 pts, 33 underwent adjuvant RT, and 12 were treated
neoadjuvant.
-The 5-yr actuarial OS, DFS, metastasis-free survival, and LR control rates were
33%, 37%, 42%, and 78%, respectively.
-The median survival was 34 months.
-No patient died perioperatively.
Patient age #60 yrs and perineural involvement adversely affected survival on univariate analysis.
Pts undergoing R0 resection had a significantly improved rate of LC but no survival advantage.
Despite having more advanced disease at presentation, pts treated neoadjuvantly had a longer survival (5-yr sur 53% vs. 23%, p = 0.16) and similar rates of Grade 2-3 surgical morbidity (16% vs. 33%, p = 0.24) compared with those treated in the postoperative setting.

The OS was significantly different between Sx alone and Sx+RT (p = 0.014) and RT alone and no treatment (p < 0.0001).
Use of Sx+RT conferred the greatest benefit on OS (HR = 0.40; 95% CI, 0.34–0.47), followed by Sx alone (hazard ratio [HR], 0.49; 95% CI, 0.44–0.54) and RT alone (HR,0.68; 95% CI, 0.59–0.77) compared with no treatment, on multivariate analysis.

The RT dose was based on a normal-tissue complication probability model and subjected the pt to an estimated maximum risk of RT-induced liver dis.of 10-15%.
The median RT dose =60.75 Gy (1.5-Gy, bid).
At a median follow-up time of 16 mo (26 mo in patients who were alive) the median survival was 15.8 mo (95% CI, 12.6 to 18.3 mo), significantly longer than in the historical control.
The actuarial 3-yr survival was 17%.
Overall toxicity was acceptable, with 27 pts (21%) and 11 pts (9%) developing grade 3 and 4 toxicity, respectively, and one treatment-related death.
