Abstract:
Complete surgical resection is the potentially curative treatment for pancreatic cancer, but only fewer than 20% of those individuals will be found to be eligible for surgery. Here we report a 49-year-old man with locally advanced pancreatic cancer successfully treated with high-dose radiotherapy using helical tomotherapy (66 Gy/33 fractions, 2 Gy per day over 6.5 weeks). To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of locally advanced pancreatic cancer curatively treated with helical tomotherapy alone.

Overview of Advanced Functional Groups
Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.
