Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Unfortunately this is systemic malignant disease and chemotherapy is the only treatment option for this There is no purpose of surgery or radiation. Few chemoth protocols can be used but this should be discussed with oncologist.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
DR. Ivan Rommstein
