This point has been debated extensively...Mainly, is there any point in surgery or radiation once the horse has left the barn? Some doctors say removing the primary tumor slows down the metastasis process and extends survival by a meaningful amount....Others will debate this, saying it makes no difference in overall survival time and only adds more side-effects for the patient to contend with...
Hence the need for long-term retrospective studies such as this. I consider the findings significant.
