Localized Treatment Versus Palliative Chemotherapy in CRC Patients With 10 or More CRLM

Recruiting
18 years and older
Both
Phase 3

This study looks at ways to help people with colorectal cancer (CRC) who have 10 or more liver spots, known as metastases. These are cancer cells that have spread to the liver. The study will compare two approaches: one is using treatments that directly target the liver, like surgery, cutting out the cancer spots (ablation), or using a special type of radiation called SBRT. The other approach is using palliative chemotherapy, which helps manage symptoms but doesn't cure the cancer.

  • **Participation**: Requires ongoing follow-ups and potential surgery or radiation treatment.
  • **Eligibility**: Must be 18 or older, have controlled disease from prior treatment, and meet specific health criteria.
  • **Compensation**: May include coverage for treatment-related expenses.

If you join the study, you'll either get one of the new localized treatments or continue with chemotherapy to see which helps people live longer. This study is important because it might show if these new treatments are better than chemotherapy alone for people with lots of liver spots from cancer. Always talk with your doctor to see if joining this study is right for you. 🧑‍⚕️
