MRI before and after surgery for abdominal cancers
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses extra detailed MRI scans before and/or around planned abdominal surgery to help researchers understand changes in the body. It includes people having surgery for certain cancers and some people having surgery for non-cancer (benign) conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for open abdominal surgery for an approved condition (oesophagus, stomach, pancreas, colon, or rectum cancer, or a non-cancer benign condition)
- You can sign a written informed consent form
- You should not have inflammatory conditions (like inflammatory bowel disease or rheumatoid arthritis) or muscle-wasting conditions
- You are able to have an extra multiparametric MRI (not pregnant, not severely claustrophobic, and no implanted devices/metal in the body that prevent MRI)

This trial studies whether adding an MRI scan improves the selection of people with pancreatic cancer who may benefit from surgery. It focuses on patients without liver spread and with tumors that are borderline or likely removable.
This study tests using MRI scans (detailed pictures of the inside of your body) during radiation therapy to improve treatment accuracy. It may help guide radiation delivery more precisely, which could reduce side effects and improve outcomes.
This study looks at how well imaging predicts the outcome of surgery for liver metastases from colorectal or breast cancer. If you are having surgery to remove liver metastases, you may be able to participate.
This study looks at MRI scans, computer-extracted imaging features, and blood/“liquid biopsy” tests after FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy to predict whether surgery can fully remove pancreatic cancer. It may help your care team choose the best next step—whether surgery is likely to be possible and how to plan it.
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.
This study looks at whether an MRI scan can replace an exercise test (CPET) to predict how well you will recover after cancer surgery. It is for people with esophageal, stomach, or pancreatic cancer who are already being considered for surgery.
