title: [Possibilities of stereotactic radiotherapy in the palliative treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer].
abstract: Morbidity and mortality from pancreatic cancer is steadily increasing. Resectable cases are not more than 20%. Conventional schemes of chemoradiation and radiation therapy are durable over the time, have toxicity and low treatment outcomes. Many foreign authors consider as promising the technique of stereotactic radiotherapy, which is often used in pancreatic cancer and permit achieving high local control. At our institution there has been developed and introduced into clinical practice a method of stereotactic radiotherapy for the palliative treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer, which improved not only the duration but also the quality of life of patients.
