The Role of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in Pancreatic Cancer

Conclusion: SBRT represents an emerging treatment option for patients to improve local control through delivery of ablative, high-dose radiation while reducing radiation treatment time as compared to conventionally fractionated chemoradiation. Further studies are needed to explore the full potential and toxicities of SBRT in pancreatic cancer. The importance of technical considerations in this modality cannot be overstated.
