Core Tip Patients undergoing pancreatectomy for rese¬ctable pancreas cancers have a significant risk of local and regional recurrence. That risk could be reduced if patients received moderate-dose preoperative radio¬therapy. Many surgeons, however, are concerned that conventional X-ray-based radiotherapy could com¬plicate what is already a complicated operation. The current series documents the surgical outcomes for 15 patients with initially unresectable pancreatic cancers who underwent pancreatectomy after high-dose [59.40 Gy (RBE)] proton-based radiotherapy. The lack of increased surgical toxicity suggests that proton radiotherapy may represent an optimal vehicle for the delivery of moderate dose neoadjuvant radiotherapy in the setting of resectable disease.
