Abstract
Abstract A radiation oncologist’s recognition of the typical course of anticipated side effects during pancreatic stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is important. Given the excellent rates of toleration, development of unanticipated pain calls for prompt evaluation. In this article, we report the case of a 51-year-old male with locally advanced pancreatic cancer experiencing focal right upper quadrant abdominal pain during pancreatic SBRT caused by rapid tumor in-growth through an open metal stent. With a variety of stents choices available, radiation oncologists need to recognize the potential for stent malfunction and occlusion to prevent a delay in SBRT delivery and the possibility for secondary infection.
