The efficacy and safety of carbon ion radiotherapy (C-ion RT) for locoregional recurrence after surgery for pancreatic cancer were retrospectively evaluated. The results for 30 patients showed that C-ion RT was performed safely with relatively long overall survival, good local control, and minimal toxicity.
