LA CHEMIOTERAPIA DI I LINEA
THE HISTORY OF PC TREATMENT

Chemo added to RT improved survival vs RT alone in LAPC
The 1st
chemotherapeutic agent receives FDA approval in advanced metastatic disease
1st study to demonstrate OS benefit with ADJ
CHEMO for resectable disease

Nei pazienti affetti da PDAC M+ KPS>70 età ≤ 70 anni, una chemioterapia di 1°
