Summary

Study Design: Adjuvant gemcitabine therapy has been shown to improve recurrence-free survival in pancreatic cancer underwent curative intent resection. This study is to evaluate whether combining concurrent chemo-radiotherapy can further improve the recurrence-free survival benefit of adjuvant gemcitabine chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer underwent curative resection.

Research Objective and Study End Points

1. Primary endpoint: The primary end point is disease free survival.
2. Secondary endpoints: The secondary end points are to evaluate the overall survival, local and distant recurrence rate, and impact on quality of life after adjuvant gemcitabine with or without CCRT in curatively resected pancreatic cancer.

Furthermore, the clinical, pathological and molecular prognostic factors in curatively resected pancreatic cancers will be evaluated.
