N2 - Pancreatic cancer is commonly treated with radiation therapy. While treatment paradigms vary by disease stage and are continuing to evolve, radiation therapy may play a role in the treatment of pancreatic cancer at any stage. Many radiation-based strategies have demonstrated success in the treatment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma and continue to actively be utilized, while ongoing efforts are expanding the frontiers of radiation modalities and indications across diverse clinical settings. In this chapter, we present an overview of the role of radiation therapy in treating patients with pancreatic cancer, examining stage- and modality-based indications for radiation therapy, as well as active areas of investigation.
