Radiotherapy With GX Regimen as Adjuvant Therapy for High-risk Patients Following Pancreatic Cancer Surgery
Pancreatic cancer is a highly fatal malignant tumor. Simple surgical operations can no longer meet the treatment needs of pancreatic cancer patients. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy has a significant effect, which can effectively prevent or delay tumor recurrence and prolong the overall survival period of pancreatic cancer patients. Based on this, many guidelines both at home and abroad actively recommend that pancreatic cancer patients receive adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery (if there are no contraindications). Radiotherapy is one of the most commonly used local treatment methods. It can be used as a neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy to increase the tumor resection rate or reduce the recurrence rate, or as a treatment approach for locally unresectable pancreatic cancer to improve local control. After complete gross resection of pancreatic cancer, the role of radioadjuvant therapy has always been controversial, and its indications for use remain unclear. However, recent clinical studies using modern radiotherapy equipment and techniques have shown that an increasing amount of data indicates that radiotherapy can benefit in the treatment of neoadjuvant, adjuvant and locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Evidence supporting adjuvant radiotherapy after pancreatectomy remains scarce. Therefore, whether screening high-risk factor populations for adjuvant radiotherapy may improve the prognosis of pancreatic cancer is an important research.
