I wish it was that simple. Other tests have shown that surgery works better with cribriform. UCSF had a seminar about cribriform and specifically said there was a problem using radiation. That’s why I mentioned adding brachytherapy to IMRT.
Here is the link to the UCSF webinar were they discussed the fact that radiation is not effective enough.
