MRI checks for treatment planning in sigmoid colon cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to better plan “curative” treatment (aimed at cure) for sigmoid colon cancer before surgery. It is for people who may still be deciding on the radical (major, curative) treatment plan and who can safely have an MRI.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have suspected or confirmed sigmoid colon cancer
- Your doctors think treatment could be curative (aimed at cure)
- There is no metastatic cancer that cannot be fully removed, and it has not spread in an uncontrollable way
- Your care team can review your MRI before surgery
- You have not already made a final decision about radical (major curative) treatment
- You can safely have an MRI and agree in writing to join the study (age 16+)

This study checks whether a special MRI scan (DW-MRI) can spot liver metastases early in people with high-risk colorectal cancer. Finding metastases sooner may help doctors choose the right treatment path.
This trial uses a special MRI before treatment to better understand early rectal cancer or suspicious large polyps. It may help doctors choose care that avoids bigger surgery when possible.
This study looks at how well cancer found on scans matches the actual cancer seen under the microscope after surgery. It may help improve how doctors plan treatment for colon, sigmoid, or rectal adenocarcinoma.
This trial tests whether doing daily MRI scans during planned radiotherapy can help guide treatment. It may benefit people by improving how accurately the team sees the target area each day.
This trial uses a special type of MRI scan (called amide proton transfer-weighted imaging) to look at your rectal cancer before and after chemotherapy and/or radiation. The goal is to see if the scan can predict whether the cancer has completely disappeared by the time of surgery, which could help guide future treatment decisions.
This trial uses advanced MRI scans to see how well rectal cancer is responding to radiotherapy. It may help doctors better understand which treatments work best for patients with more advanced disease.
