Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study has a prospective, single arm design. It will be composed from an initial run-in safety assessment that will include 6 patients and then continue as a phase II trial. All eligible patients will receive the same protocol of celiac plexus radiosurgery and will be evaluated before, during and following this treatment.
The treatment duration is one and a half weeks (5 fractions delivered every other weekday).

Celiac Plexus Radiosurgery
The study has a prospective, single arm design. It will be composed from an initial run-in safety assessment that will include 6 patients and then continue as a phase II trial.
All eligible patients will receive the same protocol of celiac plexus radiosurgery
Celiac Plexus Radiosurgery
5 fractions of SBRT (Stereotactic body radiation therapy). The target will always include the anterior-medial aspect aorta at T12-L2 (surrogate for celiac plexus). If there is adjacent tumor (e.g. pancreatic tumor that infiltrates the celiac plexus) this will be irradiated in addition.
It is expected that patients will be treated with a rapid-arc IMRT (Intensity modulation radiation therapy) dose-painting technique. Details of beam arrangement and energy used will be determined on an individual basis.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Recent abdominal imaging (CT, PET or MRI) should be at most 2 months old.
* Prior chemotherapy or biological treatment is allowed, but any active oncological treatment should be stopped at least 1 week prior to radiation and renewed at least 1 week following radiation. Following gemcitabine 2 weeks are required between final dose and commencement of radiation
* Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial
Exclusion Criteria
* Patients who are well balanced in terms of pain control
* Patients with life expectancy \<8 weeks
* Patients with ECOG (Eastern cooperative oncology group) performance status 4
* Any concurrent chemotherapy or biologic treatment is prohibited during 1 week before until 1 week following radiotherapy
* Special populations: pregnant women, prisoners, patients with major psychiatric illnesses
* Previous radiotherapy to upper abdomen
* Conditions associated with increased side effects to radiotherapy (IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) for example)
