Abstract
At present, the treatment of unresectable non-metastatic pancreatic cancer remains palliative. In selected patients, aggressive treatment programs of irradiation and chemotherapy may result in median survivals of approximately 12 months and 2-year survival rates of 20%. Long-term survivors are rare. Future efforts will be directed toward evaluation of irradiation with new agents such as paclitaxel and gemcitabine.
