ВОЗМОЖНОСТИ СОВРЕМЕННОЙ ЛУЧЕВОЙ ТЕРАПИИ У БОЛЬНЫХ РАКОМ ПОДЖЕЛУДОЧНОЙ ЖЕЛЕЗЫ

Abstract

Introduction: Until now, malignant neoplasms of the pancreas remain a very important oncological problem, which is determined by the long subclinical course of the disease, the primary diagnosis of most tumors already at advanced stages, as well as the pronounced effect of this pathology on the functional status and overall quality of life of patients. No more than a quarter of patients with pancreatic cancer can be operated on. The remaining significant part of patients receive palliative anticancer treatment and/or symptomatic therapy. Purpose: The purpose of this work is to analyze the possibilities of modern methods of radiation therapy in patients with pancreatic cancer based on the analysis of scientific sources of the Internet resource National Center for Biotechnology Information. Sections: This article describes the role of preoperative chemoradiotherapy using 3D-conformal techniques in patients with localized and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer, the effectiveness of chemoradiotherapy as an adjuvant component, and the possibilities of this method in patients with locally advanced disease. The advantages of modern radiotherapy regimens are demonstrated: with modulated intensity or volume intensity modulation by arches, stereotaxic technique, proton and adaptive MR-guided radiation therapy. The international experience of brachytherapy in patients with pancreatic cancer was analyzed. Conclusion: Modern methods of radiotherapy are widely used in clinical practice for the treatment of patients with adenogenic pancreatic cancer. The implementation of various options for radiation or chemoradiation therapy can significantly increase the survival rates of patients with localized, borderline resectable and locally advanced process, the frequency of achieving local tumor control and its duration, as well as improve the quality of life of patients by reducing the severity of abdominal pain syndrome. Constant improvement in the technique of radiation treatment contributes to a natural decrease in the frequency of early and late radiation reactions.
