Dose-Escalated Radiation Therapy for Pancreatic Cancer: A Simultaneous Integrated Boost Approach.

Purpose: To provide a detailed description of practical approaches to dose escalation in pancreatic cancer.

Methods And Materials: The current paper represents an international collaborative effort of radiation oncologists from the MR-linac consortium with expertise in pancreatic dose escalation.

Results: A 15-fraction hypofractionated intensity modulated radiation therapy (67.

Pancreatic gross tumor volume contouring on computed tomography (CT) compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Results of an international contouring conference.

Purpose: Accurate identification of the gross tumor volume (GTV) in pancreatic adenocarcinoma is challenging. We sought to understand differences in GTV delineation using pancreatic computed tomography (CT) compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods And Materials: Twelve attending radiation oncologists were convened for an international contouring symposium.
