Imaging to diagnose colon masses
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses special scans like CT or MRI to see if a colon mass is cancer. It helps people who have a suspected mass and need a clearer diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been referred for an imaging scan because your doctor suspects a mass in your colon.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis from a biopsy (tissue sample).
- You do not have any allergies to contrast dye or kidney problems that prevent using contrast.
- You are not claustrophobic or have a pacemaker that would stop you from having an MRI.

This study uses advanced CT imaging (a type of detailed scan) to help doctors better understand colon cancer and plan treatment. You'll be enrolled if you've already been diagnosed with colon cancer and had this specific type of scan before surgery.
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.
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 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 trial studies how well MRI can evaluate liver metastases (spread to the liver) from colorectal cancer. If you have measurable liver lesions, your MRI results may help doctors better track and plan care.
This study tests whether using CT scan images to guide doctors during colonoscopy (a camera exam of your colon) improves how well the procedure goes and reduces doctor stress. You'll answer questions about your experience before and after the procedure.
