Is It Possible For Chemo To Completely Shrink Liver Metasteses?

Subject: Met Shrinkage
Date: 10/23/2006
Hillary,

I had 3 mets to the liver and after 3 months of chemo they had shrunk by 50%. They also no longer showed any metabolic uptake on the PET scan, so they could have been dead tissue. However, to make absoultely sure they were dead, I had Radio Frequancy Ablation (RFA)on them. I have been disease free for 2 years now. I was also on one of the newer drugs (Avastin) which may have helped in the remission. My mets were also pretty small to begin with, the largest was about 2.5 cm. Hope this helps. Mike
