Hello dear. your uncle is suffering from advanced stage of the disease but there is still 2nd and 3rd line of therapy left. It can be given if his condition is good, that mean if he is active. More over oral form of treatment is also recently available (regorafenib). You can discuss these with your doctor. Hope that solves your query.
thanks
