简要总结
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil and gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Fluorouracil may make the tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Brachytherapy uses radioactive material, such as phosphorus P32, placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Combining chemotherapy and external-beam radiation therapy with brachytherapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying fluorouracil, gemcitabine, external-beam radiation therapy, and brachytherapy using phosphorus P32 to see how well they work compared to fluorouracil, gemcitabine, and external-beam radiation therapy in treating patients with locally or regionally advanced unresectable adenocarcinoma of the pancreas (pancreatic cancer).
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Compare the survival of patients with locally or regionally advanced unresectable adenocarcinoma of the pancreas treated with fluorouracil, external beam radiotherapy, and gemcitabine with vs without brachytherapy with phosphorus P32 suspension.
Secondary
- Compare time to disease progression, tumor response rate, and physical performance in patients treated with these regimens.
- Compare the safety and tolerability of these regimens in this patient population.
- Compare duration of response and time to treatment failure in patients treated with these regimens.
