Yes, and chemo is more effective against it as well. BTW, any metastasis can have a different histology/aggressive state than the primary. And if any bits of poorly diff cancer that are left standing after burning & poisoning (rad & chemo) they may become well diff., or at least that is what I picked up from the discussion I had about it.
