treatment purpose

(1) Patients with confirmed pancreatic cancer classified as resectable pancreatic cancer who are scheduled to undergo surgery in 4 to 8 weeks after 5 to 8 weeks of preoperative systemic chemotherapy or chemoradiation.
(2) Age at the time of consent: 20 years or older
(3) PS: 0-1 (ECOG grade)
(4) Patients with major organ function (bone marrow, liver, kidney, lung, etc.)
-White blood cell count: 3,500/mm3 or higher, neutrophil count: 2,000/mm3 or higher,
-platelet count: 100,000/mm3 or higher.
-Hemoglobin: 9.0 g/dL or higher
-Total bilirubin: 2.0 mg/dL or less (However, 3.0 mg/dL or less for patients undergoing biliary drainage for obstructive jaundice caused by tumor)
-AST(GOT), ALT(GPT): 150U/L or less
-Serum creatinine level: 1.2 mg/dL or less, creatinine clearance: 60 mL/min or more (estimation by the Cockcroft-Gault formula is acceptable)

(1) Patients with the following electrolyte abnormalities:
1) Hypercalcemia (corrected serum Ca level of 11.5 mg/dl or higher (equivalent to Grade 2 in CTCAE ver4.0))
2) Hyper PTH, PTHrPemia (above the standard value)
(2) Patients who are using or have taken drugs, supplements, or health foods related to bone metabolism (bisphosphonate, vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, etc.)

Within 14 days of enrollment, alfacalcidol will be started as vitamin D replacement therapy. The specific dosage of alfacalcidol is 4.0 ug per day, and this dosage is administered orally once a day after breakfast. This dosage should be continued until the day before surgical removal of the pancreatic cancer specimen.

Oral treatment vitamin D

Pathological evaluation of the number of alfa-SMA positive cells in resected pancreatic cancer specimens
(Number of alfa-SMA positive cells in five randomly selected fields of view at 200x in stromal cells in pancreatic cancer tissue)

Examination of the relationship between the number of alfa-SMA positive cells and the following items
- Vitamin D administration period.
- Serum vitamin D concentration (25(OH) vitamin D, 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D)
- Background factors; age, gender, tumor markers (CEA, CA19-9), preoperative treatment, disease stage, and disease type
Rate of change in bone mineral density.
