Abstract
|
|
|
|
Pancreatic cancer is well known to have a poor prognosis and poor responses to both of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. We report a metastatic pancreatic cancer treated successfully with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. A 71-year-old female with epigastric pain and weight loss was diagnosed as advanced pancreatic cancer with main vessels invasion and multiple mesenteric lymph node’s metastasis. She was taken chemotherapy of gemcitabine single regimen and radiation therapy. Although she experienced one recurrence and concomitant primary lung cancer, she has survived for over 7 years with no symptoms. The authors report this case of long term survival in metastatic pancreatic cancer after chemoradiation therapy.
