4:12 PM Abstract No. 135 Transarterial chemotherapy for treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer: treatment factors impacting survival

Treatment for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) remains a challenge. As intra-arterial (IA) chemotherapy has become a first-line option for hepatic tumors, there is interest in such approach for LAPC, despite lack of tumor feeders precluding chemo-embolization. The use of a double balloon catheter (RenovoCath) to isolate the artery next to the tumor, followed by pressure mediated transarterial drug delivery, is being explored.
