pancreatic cancer - Opis:
- The paper presents a case of a 54-year-old man with pancreatic tumor and intraperitoneal dissemination. The patient received treatment with gemcitabine in combination with nab-paclitaxel. After 18 months, the disease progressed, therefore the line of treatment was applied in the form of liposomal irinotecan with 5-FU/LV. This therapy provided progression-free survival for 7 months. The obtained results are better than the median progression-free survival obtained in the studies. This case demonstrates that liposomal irinotecan in the treatment of stage IV disease in patients progressing after gemcitabine opens up new treatment options.
