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!

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 with mets because our mets are still colon cancer.
