Abstract
IMRT has been suggested to reduce treatment-related toxicity in pancreatic cancer. We attempted to identify all IMRT-studies indexed in PubMed/Medline, comparing them with recent 3D-CRT trials. The predominant treatment-related toxicities, namely nausea/vomiting, diarrhoea and late GI toxicity, are significantly reduced with IMRT while there was no apparent difference for outcome measures.
