You may be eligible if
Only patients with pathologically proven, locally advanced, unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma will be selected.
The criteria for unresectability will be: encasement or thrombosis of one or more large vessels surrounding the pancreas (celiac axis, portal vein, and/or superior mesenteric artery and/or vein, and/or hepatic artery, except the splenic vessels); infiltration of the vessel wall or contact 180° for more than 2 cm length, with initial stricture of the vessel or alteration of the Doppler signal (each patient will undergo thoracic and abdominal-CT with contrast medium to check resectability and detect the absence of distant metastasis).
Esclusion criteria:
Patients with pancreatic tumors other than pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC)
Patients with resectable, borderline resectable or metastatic PDAC
