Radiation treatment plays a pivotal a role in the management of pancreatic cancer, mainly in the neoadjuvant setting for borderline resectable tumors and in the definitive setting for unresectable localized disease. Most of the studies on pancreatic cancer use photon-based radiation therapy modalities. However, there is a growing interest in the application of protons therapy for gastrointestinal cancers. This review summarizes the literature on the use of proton therapy in the management of pancreatic cancer. Radiation therapy plays a central role in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. While generally shown to be feasible, proton irradiation, particularly when an ablative dose is planned, remains a challenge, especially due to tumor motion and the proximity to organs at risk, like the stomach, duodenum, and bowel. Clinically, standard doses of proton radiation treatment have not been shown to be statistically different from photon radiation treatment in terms of oncologic outcomes and toxicity rates as per non-randomized comparative studies. Fractionation schedules and concurrent chemotherapy combinations are yet to be optimized for proton therapy and are the subject of ongoing trials.
