That was silly of me to say. This would vary from patient to patient. However, trials will often include patients where the treated tumor could be excised, given that he or she also has progressive metastases. There is little or no rationale for removing the tumor, when there would be no survival benefit to the patient. However, there *is* rationale for injecting it with an experimental therapy, in an attempt to demonstrate survival benefit. Let's pray that it works. I don't believe that it will.
