title: Efficacy of novel hypoxic cell sensitiser doranidazole in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer: long-term results of a placebo-controlled randomised study.
abstract: Novel hypoxic cell radiosensitiser doranidazole was tested for unresectable pancreatic cancer administered at intraoperative radiotherapy. Short-term survival was not different. However, difference has been observed concerning 3-year survival (doranidazole group vs. placebo; 23% vs. 0%, p=0.0192). This sensitiser might be effective in improving long-term survival for pancreatic cancer.
