This trial studies how well radiation therapy works for pancreatic cancer that is locally advanced (near important blood vessels) and cannot be removed with surgery. It may help shrink or control the cancer when surgery isn’t an option.
This study follows people with liver cancer who are scheduled to receive proton beam therapy. It looks at how patients do after treatment and what to expect going forward.
This trial tests a precise type of radiation called carbon ion radiotherapy for people with pancreatic cancer who are too frail for surgery or standard chemotherapy. It aims to see if this treatment can help control the cancer with fewer side effects.
This trial tests proton radiation for people with pancreas cancer that cannot be fully removed by surgery (or who choose not to have surgery). It may help shrink or control the cancer using a treatment that aims to better target the tumor while limiting dose to nearby organs.
This trial tests whether giving proton radiation and chemotherapy before surgery can shrink or control “borderline resectable” pancreatic cancer so it can be removed more effectively. It may help by improving treatment response while planning for surgery afterward.
This trial tests a very focused type of radiation (SBRT) for people with pancreatic cancer that hasn't spread to other organs but can't be removed with surgery. It may be an option if you are medically unable to have surgery or choose not to.
