    Any Updates On It?

    I started looking to see if I can find any further information/trials.  They need to hurry up :)

    Thanks. Interesting reading

    Thanks. Interesting reading for me at least. Have KRAS mutated Mets from adenocarsinoma on both lungs.

    My Lung tumors are the only ones left

    I also hve the KRAS mutation.  My colon tumor was removed and the liver tumors ablated and had Y90 to get rid of them.  Had cryoablation on one lung tumor but they won't do anything except for the remaining lung tumors.

    Thanks for posting!

    Cryoablation

    Is this the same as proton therapy?  I, too have KRAS and remaining met is in lung, was wondering what the criteria is for being a candidate. Am meeting with lung surgeon again tomorrow--if CT shows no new growth anywhere he is open to doing lobectomy--am intrigued by your treatment!

    I don't think it will help us

    I don't think it will help us with mets because our mets are still colon cancer.
