MDT Met Zapping

[6357axbz]

Approximately how long, i.e., how many sessions does it take to zap mets?

It depends where they are. Usually 1-3, but as many as 10 if they are in some places in the spine. Get a second opinion if they are in the mediastinum.

Thank-you TA. Illium and lower right side rib(s) so I suspect it will be fewer.

Pardon my ignorance what is MDT? Is it a form of radiation?

Thank you sir. I have 2 mets on my spine and another 3 on hips shoulder and ribs. I will need to zap them as you called it. However local radiologist are hesitant to consider it oligomets. Where do you propose to zap them.

I lack the expertise to make such a recommendation.
