Original Source: Preoperative Capecitabine and Concurrent Radiation for Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer.
BACKGROUND: Patients with borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) represent a high-risk group of patients due to tumor or patient-related characteristics. The optimal management of these patients has not been fully defined. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All patients undergoing evaluation for PDA between 2005 and 2008 were identified. Clinical, radiographic, and pathological data were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were staged as borderline resectable using the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (...
