    Thank you.

    Nudgie:

    This is a very interesting and hopeful article for people who have colon cancer with liver involvement. For anyone on our board who falls into this category, there is a telephone number at the end of the article to inquire about participating in the trial.

    Thanks for posting this.

    New trial from George Mason
    Found this trial GM is conducting on clinicaltrials.gov and it is for pts with wild type KRAS so not for those with KRAS mutation. Just wanted to let everyone know. If you do not know if you are wild type or have mutation you should ask your dr to find this out as some chemos will not work on KRAS mutation such as Erbitux and now this trial.
