Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of the present study is to test if in situations of borderline resectable patients a neoadjuvant treatment combining Gemzar-Abraxane and stereotactic radiosurgery could increase the median OS rates above 30 months that means at least 12 months more than the 18-20 months generally described.
