Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
Brief Answer:
yes folfirinox is a suitable regime
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
It is a difficult scenario. Surgery unlikely to help. Hence chemotherapy with folfirinox is the treatment of choice. It has the highest response rates.
If there is a good response, radiation can be considered.
Now the unfortunate part is that even though localized recurrence, it is not curable. We can however try controlling it as long as possible.
Hope this helps. I will be available for follow up.
Regards

Brief Answer:
disease burden low so it may be more
Detailed Answer:
But still the average progression free survival with FOLFIRINOX is about 6-12 months and life expectancy 1-2 years. In any individual case very difficult to predict. Some patients may even survive 5 years but that is a small proportion.
