Description
During the 10-year period between 1974 and 1984, we treated 34 pancreatic carcinomas by radiotherapy as follows: Eight by intraoperative radiotherapy (IOR), five by external radiotheray (ERT), and 21 by IOR in combination with ERT. The mean survival time of the eight patients treated by IOR was 5.6 months, and that of the 21 receiving the combination therapy 7.2 months. Although it is not statistically significant, patients treated by the combined regimen survived longer than those treated by IOR alone. (author)
