Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is a disease that seriously threatens the health of human beings. The treatment options currently available for pancreatic cancer are still limited. In this article, we describe the principle of whole body gamma knife and SBRT (a treatment similar to whole body gamma knife) for the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer. By improving the absorbed dose in the lesion, whole body gamma knife can control tumor progression and improve survival in patients with pancreatic cancer with low side effects. Despite that controversy still exists, the advantages of SBRT in the treatment of pancreatic cancer have been gradually recognized in foreign countries.
