Core Tip Patients with resectable and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer are at a high risk of suffering postoperative local-regional failure. Preoperative radiotherapy directed to gross disease and regional lymphatic beds at high risk of harboring microscopic disease appears to be an oncologically rational intervention to reduce this risk. When proton-based radiotherapy addressing gross disease as well as high-risk regional lymphatic beds is delivered prior to surgery, it does not appear to increase the risk of surgical complications or the duration of surgery. Because of this, we would argue that proton-based preoperative radiotherapy should be considered for patients with resectable and borderline resectable disease.
