About this trial
A unique approach for cancer treatment including radioactive sources named Alpha DaRT sources: Ra - 224 coated onto stainless steel tubes inserted into the tumor for the treatment of Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer .

Stable disease or tumor response per RECIST (version 1.1) criteria compared to before initiation of mFOLFIRINOX
Disqualifiers
Concomitant immunotherapy within the past 4 weeks.
Patients with metastatic disease
Borderline unresectable pancreatic cancer, and/or cases fit for surgical exploration unless patient refuses surgery.
Known hypersensitivity to any of the components of the treatment.
