Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer (LAPC)

  • Pancreatic cancer is soon to be the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States
  • 30% - 35% of pancreatic cancer patients present with locally advanced disease
  • While 10-15% of patients with LAPC have their disease rendered surgically operable (with an R0 resection), the vast majority of patients have incurable disease
  • The current standard of care therapies for patients with LAPC have led to a median overall survival of ~15 months

Chemotherapy is Not Effectively Delivered to

Primary Pancreatic Tumors

Dense fibrotic stroma | Sparse tumor cellularity | Hypovascular tumors

Liver tumors are vascularized

Pancreas tumors are hypovascular

Large tumor feeders - excellent targets for therapy

Inability to identify tumor feeder vessels and penetrate

Large branches within tumor - easily visualize tumor
