Abstract: Objective To explore the efficacy and side effects of 5-filuorouracil combined hypofractionated image-guided three dimensional conformal intensity modulated radiation therapy (3D-IMRT) for locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma. MethodsFrom June 2011 to December 2014, a total of 37 patients with locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma proved by histopathology were enrolled in this study. Patients were treated by image-guided 3D-IMRT (radiation dose was 48-49.6 Gy in 16 fractions) and 5-filuorouracil(a dose of 350 mg/m2,d1-d5,weekly). The treatment efficacy and side effects was observed and all patients were followed-up. Results All patients completed 3D-IMRT. There was 5 patients got CR, 14 got PR, 14 got SD and 4 got SD. The response rate was 51.4%(19/37), and clinical benefit response rate was 56.8%(21/37). During the treatment, grade 3 hematologic toxicities occurred in 7 patients, serious biliary obstruction occurred in 1 patient, gastroduodenal ulcer occurred in 2 patients. The 1- and 2-year distance metastasis free survival were 36.0% and 4.8%. The 1- and 2-year overall survival rates were 51.3% and 11.6%. At the end date of the follow-up, 13 patients got local recurrence, 26 patients had distant metastasis. Conclusion 5-filuorouracil combined hypofractionated image-guided 3D-IMRT is effective and well-tolerated for patients with locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma.
