Hello @panorman3,

You are asking good questions. Some members of this group have had a reduction in the sizes of tumors and some have not. If you would like more information, please read the posts in the following discussion group,

i know it is in the mesentery why cannot surgeons not move aside the intestines and cut out the tumor. i have heard of operations that lay all the instestines outside of the body for and operation.
