    No I have not
    Have you? What prompted the question? I have only seen reference to it in lung cancer and pancreatic. I see some studies have been done on colon - but it is not approved for it here in the US that I can tell.

    maybe this is waiting in the wings for us in the future.... I hope I don't need it but it'd be nice to have some proven alternatives out there.
