The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of high-dose radiation therapy after initial chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. The main question it aims to answer is:
• For patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that responded to initial chemotherapy (stayed stable or decreased in size), will high-dose RT (radiation therapy) contribute to improving treatment outcomes, enhancing quality of life, or increasing overall survival rates?
Participants will:

| High dose radiation therapy | Radiation | High dose radiation refers to the administration of a concentrated beam of radiation to target and treat the tumor. High dose radiation therapy typically involves delivering radiation in fractions over a set period. For instance, options such as:
These numbers denote the total dose of radiation (in Gray, abbreviated as Gy) delivered over a specific number of fractions (abbreviated as Fx), and the respective time frames for administration. The selection of radiation therapy (RT) dose levels for participants is guided by the expertise and evaluation of the radiation oncologist. |
