contact with the superior mesenteric vein or portal vein of 90 degrees or less
• No evidence for metastatic disease*
• WHO performance status of 0 or 1

• Prior chemotherapy precluding mFOLFIRINOX.
• Previous malignancy (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer, pancreatic
neuroendocrine tumor (pNET) <2cm, and gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST)
<2cm), unless no evidence of disease and diagnosed more than 3 years before
diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, or with a life expectancy of more than 5 years
from date of inclusion.
• Pregnancy or lactation.
• Serious concomitant systemic disorders that would compromise the safety of
the patient or his/her ability to complete the study, at the discretion of the
investigator.
