An Investigational Scan (Intravoxel Incoherent Motion Diffusion Weighted Imaging) for the Evaluation of Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases Treatment Response

Evaluation of Treatment Response of Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases With Intravoxel Incoherent Motion Diffusion Weighted Imaging


Sponsor

M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Enrollment

70 participants

Start Date

Aug 12, 2020

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This trial evaluates the treatment response of colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver (liver metastases) using intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion weighted imaging (IVIM DWI). IVIM DWI is new kind of imaging scan that may help measure changes in disease before and after chemotherapy in patients with colorectal liver metastases.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a specialized MRI technique called intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) to see if it can track how well chemotherapy is working against colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver (called colorectal liver metastases, or CLM). This is an imaging-only study aimed at improving treatment monitoring without additional invasive tests. **You may be eligible if...** - You have colorectal cancer that has spread to your liver (liver metastases) - Your liver metastases are resectable (can potentially be removed by surgery) - You are starting chemotherapy before surgery at MD Anderson Cancer Center - You have at least one liver metastasis measuring 1 cm or larger - You will have follow-up appointments at MD Anderson before and after surgery **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your liver metastases cannot be surgically removed - You have conditions that prevent MRI scanning - You are not being treated at MD Anderson Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
