简要总结
The purpose is to assess the overall survival of patients receiving either UFT/LV + radiotherapy (RT) or UFT/LV + Cetuximab + RT after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy.
详细描述
Locally advanced pancreatic cancer carries a poor prognosis with no survival advantage of CRT over chemotherapy alone. 4 Phase II- III studies patients without disease progression after 3 months of systemic chemotherapy and CRT had a longer survival than those continuing on chemotherapy. Therefore chemotherapy followed by CRT may be a better approach. Also the effect of blocking EGFR will be evaluated in locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Gemcitabine and capecitabine combination will be used as neo-adjuvant chemotherapy.
