- Pathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the pancreas or a serum CA19-9 level
higher than normal limits and an pancreas cancer-compatible radiological features in
one or more in CT/MRI/PET scans

- Unresectable disease base on institutional standard criteria of unresectability or
recurrent disease following radical surgery. There is no evidence of metastatic
disease in the major viscera and no peritoneal seeding

- Patients with biliary or gastroduodenal obstruction must have drainage prior to
starting chemoradiation

- All malignant disease must be encompassable within a single irradiation field
(15x15cm maximum)

- platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3

- total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL (Patients with elevated bilirubin due to obstruction
should be stented and their bilirubin should be decreased ≤ 2.0 mg/dL prior to
study entry)
