Abstract: Radiation therapy plays an increasingly important role in the treatment of pancreatic cancer (PC). Studies have shown that aggressive local treatment with radiation dose escalation can improve local control.1,2 Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) uses advanced imaging technology to verify the target lesion setting before and during radiation therapy and allows for the accurate delivery of high-dose radiation to pancreatic tumors.3
