I didn't read the trial details (I will, but later), but the gist i understood was that the trials is about which shrink it better?

My only experience is talking to sufferers -I'm no medic-, but I understood that if surgery can be delayed while the tumors are shrunk, then the chances are that the surgery will be less serious and is more likely to be successful?
