Background This study evaluated clinical outcomes of combined chemotherapy and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided intratumoral radioactive phosphorus-32 ( (32) P) implantation in locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma (LAPC). Methods Consecutive patients with newly diagnosed LAPC were recruited over 20 months. Baseline computed tomography and (18) F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ( (18) FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography were performed and repeated after 12 weeks to assess treatment response. Following two cycles of conventional chemotherapy, patients underwent EUS-guided (32) P implantation followed by six chemotherapy cycles. Results 12 patients with LAPC (median age 69 years [interquartile range 61.5-73.3]; 8 male) completed treatment. Technical success was 100 % with no procedural complications. At 12 weeks, median reduction in tumor volume was 8.2 cm (3) (95 % confidence interval 4.95-10.85; P = 0.003), with minimal or no (18) FDG uptake in nine patients (75 %). Tumor downstaging was achieved in six patients (50 %), leading to successful resection in five (42 %), including four R0 resections (80 %). Conclusions EUS-guided (32) P implantation was feasible, well tolerated, and resulted in a 42 % surgical resection rate. Further evaluation in a larger randomized multicenter trial is warranted.
