Ablation treatment plus usual therapy for limited metastatic bowel cancer
This study tests whether adding “total ablation” (carefully destroying all visible small tumors using surgery, heat/cold treatment, and/or targeted radiation) to standard chemotherapy improves outcomes for people with limited spread of colorectal cancer. It may help by aiming to eliminate all known metastatic spots while you continue usual cancer treatment.

Study of amivantamab plus FOLFIRI in colorectal cancer

Amivantamab plus chemo vs. standard chemo for left-sided colorectal cancer
This trial compares a new combination (amivantamab plus chemotherapy) with the standard treatment (cetuximab plus chemotherapy) as the first therapy for people with left-sided colorectal cancer that has spread. The goal is to see which approach works better when the tumor has no mutations in the KRAS, NRAS, or BRAF genes.

Testing immunotherapy for ctDNA-positive colorectal cancer after treatment
