Summary:

      The goal of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of a chemotherapy regimen
      known as Modified FOLFIRINOX (mFFX) alone or with the addition of Stereotactic Body
      Radiotherapy (SBRT). We hope to learn if this new treatment combination helps to control the
      disease and improve survival for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
