Improving Survival of COlorectal LIver Metastases by RFA-mediated Immunostimulation
Sponsor
University of Aarhus
Enrollment
200 participants
Start Date
Nov 14, 2022
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
To examine radio frequency ablation as a treatment supplement to stimulate immunogenicity and improve survival for patients undergoing curative-intent surgery for colorectal liver metastases.
Eligibility
Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 99 Years
Plain Language Summary
Simplified for easier understanding
This study is testing whether adding radiofrequency ablation (using heat to destroy tumor tissue) before standard liver surgery for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver can help stimulate the immune system to fight remaining cancer cells, potentially improving survival.
**You may be eligible if...**
- You have colorectal cancer that has spread to your liver and are scheduled for surgery to remove it
- At least one liver tumor is 3 cm or larger
- You are in good general health (performance status 0-1)
**You may NOT be eligible if...**
- You have liver cirrhosis (severe liver scarring)
- Your cancer has spread to other areas of the body that cannot be treated with curative intent
- You have had another cancer within the past 5 years
