A member asked:
Can clinical trials be of any benefit for a person with pancreatic cancer and extensive mets to the liver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pancreatic cancer: "Benefit" in such situation depends on patient / family's expectation from treatment that is being offered. Seems like you know that it is not a definitive treatment.
