Hallo,

My mother was dx in January with Pancreatic cancer  in the head of pancreas stage IV with solitary nodule in her lungs. The wipple operation is not an option for us, she undergoes currently chemo-FOLFOX, 1 round. Can Ceiberknife be an option for her as she is stage IV patient?

 

Thank you in advance for your reply,

 

Elisabeth

Yes, for palliative benefit, but it will not provide a cure.
