Radiofrequency ablation for liver tumors from colorectal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses radiofrequency ablation to treat colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver but not elsewhere. It may help people who cannot have surgery to remove liver tumors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had colorectal cancer and the main tumor has been removed or is under control.
- You have at least 2 liver tumors that can be seen on an ultrasound and are smaller than 5 cm (about 2 inches).
- Your liver tumors cannot be surgically removed, or you have chosen not to have surgery.
- You do not have cancer that has spread outside the liver, or if it has, it is stable (not growing).
- You must be at least 18 years old and have a life expectancy of at least 6 months.

This study looks at whether using radiofrequency (a heat-based treatment used during surgery) during liver surgery can lower the chances that cancer returns locally. It includes people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and people with liver cancer (HCC).
This study tests a planning and confirmation software tool during a needle-based liver procedure to treat colorectal cancer metastases. It aims to help doctors cover tumors more completely while reducing the chance of leaving tumor tissue behind.
This Phase 1 trial tests a local immune-boosting treatment given after a procedure that uses heat (radiofrequency ablation) to treat liver metastases from colorectal cancer. It aims to see whether this approach can improve how the immune system responds to tumors that can’t be fully removed by surgery.
This study tests whether a specific heating treatment (microwave ablation) can completely destroy small colon cancer spots in the liver. It may help patients who have limited liver tumors and need a precise, minimally invasive option.
This study looks at whether destroying colorectal cancer deposits in the liver with a microwave technique plus chemotherapy can control tumors. It is meant for people whose cancer has spread to the liver but not to other organs.
This trial looks at whether using a heat-based treatment (RFA) to trigger the immune system before or during liver surgery can improve outcomes for people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver. It’s aimed at people who plan to have the liver tumors removed because they look treatable.
