Core Tip

Core Tip: The article presents an insightful exploration of a study of the combination of sintilimab with S-1 and gemcitabine concurrent radiotherapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). The observation group had significantly longer median progression-free survival and overall survival than the control group. The occurrence of severe adverse events did not exhibit a statistically significant difference between the observation group and the control group, with a P value greater than 0.05. It is considered a promising, effective, and well-tolerated treatment for LAPC.
