Concurrent Chemo-radiation Using Tomotherapy Based IMRT in Locally Advanced Gallbladder and Pancreatic Cancers :A Feasibility Study
In both gall bladder and pancreatic cancer surgery is the main stay of treatment, but
majority of these tumors are inoperable by virtue of adjacent organ infiltration. In this
study, inoperable gallbladder and pancreatic cancer patients will be treated with high
precision radiotherapy using Tomotherapy delivering higher dose of radiation along with
chemotherapy. It is expected that this high dose precise radiotherapy along with
chemotherapy will lead to good symptom relief and make some of these tumors operable.
