Summary

Surgical resection is the only potentially curative treatment for patients with pancreatic cancer. Patients with BRPC have tumors in close contact with the vasculature but not to the extent that resection is prohibited. Nonetheless, retrospective studies have shown that immediate resection in these patients is associated with an increased risk of positive margins, and a margin positive resection does not improve survival over that of patients with unresectable disease. Moreover, even in those patients where a successful resection is achieved, there is a high rate of early metastatic progression suggesting that micrometastatic disease is often present at diagnosis. Therefore neoadjuvant therapy is likely to improve outcomes in patients with BRPC to increase the likelihood of achieving a margin negative resection, provide early control of occult micrometastatic disease, and select those patients without systemic progression who would benefit from surgical resection.

Interventions

DRUG

neoadjuvant mFOLFIRINOX

Patients will receive 8 cycles of mFOLFIRINOX every 2 weeks. mFOLFIRINOX will be dosed as follows: Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, followed by folinic acid 400 mg/m2 infused over 120 minutes and irinotecan 135 mg/m2 infused over 90 minutes, followed by 5-fluorouracil 300 mg/m2 IV bolus, followed by 2,400 mg/m2 continuous infusion for 46 hours. Levoleucovorin may be substituted for folinic acid at a dose of 200 mg/m2 infused over 120 minutes.

DRUG

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) will be delivered to the primary tumor and any adjacent involved nodes to 33 Gy in 5 fractions over the course of 2 weeks, and within 4 weeks of chemotherapy.
