Online Adaptive Radiotherapy for an Elderly Patient With Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
This case report details the treatment process and outcomes of an elderly patient with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) managed with online adaptive radiotherapy (ART) guided by fan-beam computed tomography. The patient exhibited significant tumor regression (partial response) during the treatment course. Follow-up imaging one year after treatment confirmed sustained tumor remission and maintained a good quality of life. These findings highlight the potential efficacy of online ART in the management of LAPC.
