Résumé :

Given the lack of direct comparative evidence, we aimed to compare the oncological outcomes of localized pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) treated in the same tertiary cancer center with isotoxic high-dose stereotactic body radiotherapy (iHD-SBRT) or conventional chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Biopsy-proven borderline/locally advanced patients treated with iHD-SBRT (35 Gy in 5 fractions with a simultaneous integrated boost up to 53 Gy) or CRT (45-60 Gy in 25-30 fractions) were retrospectively included from January 2006 to January 2021. The median overall survival (mOS) was evaluated trough uni- and multivariate analyses. The progression free survival (PFS) and the 1-year local control (1-yLC) were also reported. Eighty-two patients were included. The median follow-up was 19.7 months. The mOS was in favour of the iHD-SBRT group (22.5 vs. 15.9 months, p < 0.001), including after multivariate analysis (HR 0.39 [CI95% 0.18-0.83], p = 0.014). The median PFS and the 1-yLC were also significantly better for iHD-SBRT (median PFS: 16.7 vs. 11.5 months, p = 0.011; 1-yLC: 75.8 vs. 39.3%, p = 0.004). In conclusion, iHD-SBRT is a promising RT option and may offer an improvement in OS in comparison to CRT for localized PDAC. Further validation is required to confirm the exact role of iHD-SBRT and the optimal therapeutic sequence for the treatment of localized PDAC.
