Use of SBRT in Treating Pancreatic Cancer

Video

This video highlights the evolution of stereotactic body radiation therapy in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

In this video, Sarah E. Hoffe, MD, of the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida, discusses the evolution of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Hoffe also highlights a recent study published in Lancet Oncology using a genomic-adjusted radiation dose (GARD) in patients with various malignancies, a method that could individualize radiotherapy treatment.
