Locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) is a high-mortality condition. This single-institution, Phase II, single-arm investigator-initiated trial at Allegheny Health Network investigates the optimal timing and integration of established standard-of-care interventions for biopsy-proven LAPC. Eligible participants will receive standard 4 months of induction chemotherapy, followed by standard MR-LINAC-guided radiotherapy, and subsequent surgical exploration with curative intent where feasible. The research question specifically pertains to the efficacy and safety of this predefined treatment sequence, aiming to increase the proportion of LAPC patients who achieve R0 resection and to translate local control gains into better survival and quality of life. The study plans to accrue approximately 18-20 patients.
