Comparing surgery order for liver spread from colon cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether removing the colon tumor or the liver tumors first affects recovery in patients having both removed at the same time. It helps doctors decide the best surgical approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver
- The liver and colon tumors can be removed in one surgery
- You are an adult (18 years or older)
- You are not having emergency surgery for colon problems
- No cancer has spread to other parts of the body
- Your overall health is good enough for surgery (low surgical risk)

This study looks at whether a liver transplant can help people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver but cannot be removed by surgery. It also checks whether certain cancer features, treatment history, and blood/health status make transplant safer or more effective.
This trial compares having one surgery to remove both the colon tumor and liver tumors at the same time versus having two separate surgeries. It aims to find which approach is safer and works better for patients whose cancer has spread only to the liver.
This trial compares different orders of surgery for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It looks at which approach gives better outcomes, quality of life, and value for money.
This study compares two different types of liver surgery for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and who have specific genetic changes or a right-sided primary tumor. You will be randomly assigned to one surgery type, and researchers will track how well you do over time to see if one approach is better.
This trial compares liver transplant versus liver surgery for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed initially. You would first receive chemotherapy to shrink the tumors, and if they become removable, you may be randomly assigned to have a liver transplant or standard liver surgery.
This trial tests whether treating liver tumors with surgery or ablation can help people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver and other organs. It may be an option if you've had only 1 or 2 types of chemotherapy and your non-liver metastases are stable.
