To assess whether radiation therapy alone can effectively manage a solid and papillary neoplasm of the pancreas in place of standard surgical intervention.
Case report detailing the clinical management and outcomes of a patient with a locally destructive solid and papillary pancreatic neoplasm treated solely with definitive radiotherapy.
Treatment with exclusive radiotherapy achieved successful local control and resolution of the pancreatic neoplasm without surgical resection.
The clinical response demonstrated that solid and papillary neoplasms of the pancreas possess intrinsic radiosensitivity.
