@cjacobs99, I saw a post from you mentioning the Aliya procedure. (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/1160933/) The lung cancer group is interested and excited about this advancement. Did you have the Aliya procedure for your metastasis to the lung, or did you go with more SBRT? How are you doing now?

I am scheduled for the Aliya procedure this coming Thursday, 4/23/26. I had SBRT for pancreatic tumor which shrunk it enough to have the Whipple surgery this past December. I will be having a biopsy of the nodules and lymph node in the mediastinum to determine whether it is lung cancer or a metastases of pancreatic cancer. I have been receiving immunotherapy, Nivolumab, for 3 years for the lung cancer.
They will be doing the Aliya at the same time as the biopsy. I'll post the results. Biopsy results won't be back for 7 days.
