Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: (1) Pancreatic tumor diagnosed by contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) meeting either one of the following conditions. (i) Histologically proven invasive ductal carcinoma (adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous carcinoma) (ii) Cytologically proven Class IV or Class V In case of the following conditions, pancreatic tumor radiologically compatible with invasive ductal carcinoma is eligible without pathological diagnosis. (a) No neoadjuvant chemotherapy (b) Endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography can not be performed safely. (2) Tumor located in the body or tail of the pancreas. (3) Resectable pancreatic cancer by contrast-enhanced CT. Patients treated with preoperative chemotherapy fulfill both (i) and (ii). (i) Resectable pancreatic cancer by contrast-enhanced CT before initiation of chemotherapy. (ii) Resectable pancreatic cancer by the last contrast-enhanced CT after initiation of chemotherapy. (4) Muximum length of the tumor <= 8 cm. (5) Curative resection is possible by distal pancreatectomy with regional lymph node dissection. (6) In case of the preceding diagnostic laparoscopy or percutaneous peritoneal lavage, peritoneal cytology is negative. (7) No invasion to the portal vein or other organs except for the adrenal gland or spleen. (8) Aged between18 and 85 years old. (9) Performance status (ECOG) of 0 or 1. (10) No prior treatment of radiation therapy against pancreatic cancer. (11) No history of upper abdominal surgery except for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. (12) Sufficient organ functions. (13) Written informed consent.
