PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From date of randomization to observed dose limiting toxicity (DLT) in 20% of patients assessed up to 3 years

Population: Patients we're treated at 3 dose levels (40, 45, and 50 Gy). The dose-limiting toxicity for the study was 50 Gy

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of five fraction stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) in pancreatic cancer.
