Surgery is the recommended treatment for localised resectable disease. When the tumour is incompletely resected (positive margins) post-operative radiotherapy gives local control comparable to a complete resection (clear margins). Sometimes when surgery is not possible due to extent of disease or if a patient is too frail for surgery, or declines surgery, palliative radiotherapy may be helpful. There has been a report of a case where low dose radiotherapy achieve disease response and control for more than 4 years. In patients with metastatic disease, chemotherapy response tends to be low (27% partial response rate) and short lived.
