Popis: Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT) over 5-15 days can be interdigitated without delaying chemotherapy. Bridging chemotherapy may allow for extended intervals to surgery, potentially improving sterilization of surgical margins and overall survival. SRT for pancreatic adenocarcinoma should not be limited to the tumor, and should consider hypofractionated approaches to regional nodes.
