What are your thoughts on having SBRT performed on a handful of small liver lesions and doing chemo at the same time? Is SBRT ever an option while you are participating in a clinical trial that is testing a new drug (RMC-6236 or IMM-1-104, for example)?
Thank you for taking precious time out of your day to answer these questions..
Sandy

We use SBRT frequently for our resectable PDAC patients. SBRT in the setting of metastatic is controversial and unlikely to provide anything other than side effects except in very special circumstances (1 or 2 isolated sites of disease after prolonged systemic therapy) and under a clinical trial.
