Background: Pancreatic cancer, with its poor prognosis, is frequently diagnosed in elderly patients who may be ineligible for surgery or chemoradiation due to age or comorbidities. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) offers a targeted approach by delivering precise, high-dose radiation to a limited volume in few fractions. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SBRT in elderly pancreatic cancer patients. Methods: Patients with pancreatic cancer received SBRT using Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy in schedules of five dose fractions tailored to the tolerance of adjacent tissues. Progression-free survival (PFS), local progression-free survival (LPFS), metastasis-free survival (MFS) and overall survival (OS) were analysed. Toxicities were graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0. Results: Median follow-up was 9.5 months (range, 4–37.2 months). The 1-year, 2-year and 3-year LPFS rates were 88%, 73% and 54%, respectively (median not reached). Median PFS, MFS and OS were 29.6 months, 32.6 months, and 24.1 months, respectively. SBRT was well tolerated with acute and late toxicity rates of 6% and 9%, respectively. Conclusionsd: SBRT appears to be an effective and safe option for elderly pancreatic cancer patients, achieving high local control with minimal toxicity.
