Surgery is not a great option. It’s incredibly invasive, it’s risky, it costs valuable time to schedule, it’s expensive and at the point where you’re metastatic it’s not curative in any way.

I haven’t read the article, but if you can integrate this with regular chemo cadence to amplify effects at certain locations it seems like a no brainer.

Exactly. For us at Shasqi, it was about combining the spatial control of surgery with the temporal control (flexibility of dosing) of oral or intravenous drugs.
