<div>OS improved with chemo. OS worse with chemoRT.</div>
<div><br></br></div>
5-yr OS 10% chemoRT vs. 20% without<br></br>5-yr OS 21% chemo vs. 8% without<br></br><br></br>
What are concerns about ESPAC-1 for pancreatic cancer?
“In original design, not all patients were randomized. No RT quality assurance. Option of up to 60 Gy instead of 40. Only 70% had full dose. Optional ““background therapy””.”
