Fig. 1 (A) Staging computed tomography (CT) scan of patient with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer with near complete occlusion of the SMV at the tumor-vessel interface (arrow). (B) Typical isodose lines encompass the region of vessel involvement that is prescribed a higher dose per fraction than the remainder of the tumor. (C) Restaging scans showing a dramatic response with restoration of blood flow to the SMV (arrow). D = duodenum.
