[A Case of Remnant Pancreatic Cancer after Pancreatoduodenectomy Successfully Treated Using Chemotherapy and Carbon-Ion Radiotherapy].
Gan to Kagaku Ryoho. Cancer & Chemotherapy 2016 November
We report a case of remnant pancreatic cancer after pancreatoduodenectomy that was successfully treated using chemotherapy and carbon-ion radiotherapy. A 68-year-old woman received SSPPD for pancreatic head cancer. Gemcitabine(GEM) was administered for a year as postoperative chemotherapy. One year 8 months after surgery, abdominal CT showed a 20 mm solid mass in the stump of the remnant pancreas and dilation of the distal pancreatic duct. FDG-PET revealed a solitary tumor without any recurrence. We diagnosed the patient with a solitary recurrence of pancreatic cancer. Chemotherapy (GEM)and carbon-ion radiotherapy were performed. After treatment, the lesion was not detected on CT or FDG-PET. Chemotherapy(GEM)and carbon-ion radiotherapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer seems to be effective and there might result in a survival benefit.
