A Prospective Study of Concurrent Hyperthermia, Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy in Borderline and Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer (PANHEAT) (PANHEAT)

23 september 2026 uppdaterad av: Pedro C Lara, Fernando Pessoa Canarias University

A Prospective Study of Concurrent Hyperthermia Plus Standard of Care in Borderline and Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer (PANHEAT)

The project proposes a prospective multicenter study to evaluate the incorporation of deep regional hyperthermia into the standard of care neoadjuvant chemotherapy (mFOLFIRINOX/NABPACLITAXEL) followed by radiotherapy in borderline and locally advanced ductal adenocarcinoma pancreatic cancer. Although current treatments, based on induction chemotherapy followed by surgery or radiotherapy in selected patients, have improved survival and resection rates, overall survival remains poor.

Hyperthermia is a therapeutic intensification strategy with a solid biological basis. By controlling tumor heating (39-43°C), it enhances the efficacy of chemotherapy and radiation therapy by improving tumor oxygenation, increasing perfusion, and inhibiting DNA damage repair, without adding significant systemic toxicity. The available clinical evidence, although based mainly on retrospective and small studies, suggests that the combination of HRP with multimodal treatments improves local control, favors conversion to surgery, and may prolong survival while maintaining a favorable safety profile.

The protocol contemplates the initial administration of induction chemotherapy (preferably mFOLFIRINOX or, alternatively, gemcitabine with nab-paclitaxel)plus hyperthermia followed by multidisciplinary reevaluation. Patients who deemed resectable will undergo surgery and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy and hyperthermia. Patients without metastatic progression who remain unresectable will receive SBRT in five fractions along with sessions of deep regional hyperthermia. Subsequently, the possibility of surgery will be assessed again and a standardized follow-up will be carried out with clinical, radiological, biochemical and pathological evaluation when appropriate.

The main objective of the study is to determine the impact of this strategy on overall survival. Secondary objectives will be to evaluate progression-free survival, local control, conversion rate to surgery, proportion of R0 resections, tumor response, safety, tolerability, and feasibility of treatment. With this, the study aims to provide prospective evidence on the role of hyperthermia as a therapeutic intensification strategy in localized pancreatic cancer.
