Neoadjuvant radiotherapeutic strategies in pancreatic cancer

Figure 1 Example for a 9-beam intensity modulated radiation therapy treatment plan in a pancreatic cancer patient with simultaneously integrated boost. SD: Single dose; TD: Total dose in 25 fractions; SIB: Simultaneously integrated boost.

Figure 2 Intraoperative electron radiation therapy. A: Placement of the applicator after resection; B: Schematic dose distribution.

Figure 3 Schematic comparison of the depth dose curves of photons and particles. Lower dose distribution in the radiation path before and after the target with particles by exploiting the Bragg-peak.
