Exclusion Criteria:

1. -Patients with previous treatment for pancreatic carcinoma

2. -PTV ( planning target volume ) >500 cm3 or 5 cm (maximum diameter)

3. -Patients with known or suspected allergy to iodated contrasts or renal impairment
which prevents from radiological tests.

4. -Pregnant or nursing patients. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative
serum pregnancy test performed within 7 days prior to the start of treatment

5. -General medical or psychological conditions that would preclude appropriate informed
consent or compliance with the protocol.

6. -Previous cancer that is distinct in primary site or histology from NSCLC except
cervical cancer in-situ, treated basal cell carcinoma, superficial bladder tumors (Ta
and Tis) or any cancer curatively treated > 3 years prior to study entry

7. -Concurrent treatment with other experimental drugs (within 30 days prior to study
entry).

8. -Concurrent treatment with other anti-cancer therapy.

9. -Therapeutic anticoagulation with Vitamin K antagonists such as warfarin or with
heparins or heparinoids. Low dose warfarin is permitted if INR is <1.5 . Low dose
aspirin is permitted .

participation in the study .

11. -Significant weight loss (> or equal 10% body weight during preceding 6 weeks)

12. -Major surgery within 3 previous weeks, or laparoscopic biopsy or significant
traumatic injury within 2 weeks of prior to first dose of study drug.

13. -Known or suspected allergy to sorafenib or any agent given in the course of this
trial .

23. -Known brain metastasis. Patients with neurological symptoms should undergo a CT
scan/MRI of the brain to exclude brain metastasis

24. -Any instable condition that may interfere with the patients participation in the
study
