Ultrasound and Tumor Response in Colorectal Liver Metastases
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study is testing a new way to use ultrasound to help treat colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It may help doctors see how tumors respond to treatment.

This study tests whether a special 3D ultrasound scan (using contrast) can help support decisions for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. If you have planned new cancer treatment, the scan may add information to help doctors guide care.
This study tests a new ultrasound technique to see if it can predict early how well your cancer treatment will work on liver tumors that started in the colon or rectum. It uses special sound waves to measure pressure inside the tumor, which might help doctors adjust treatment sooner.
This study tests a tiny device that is placed in your liver tumor during surgery. It checks how well different chemotherapy drugs work on your specific cancer, which may help your doctor choose the best treatment for you.
This trial tests a new combination of treatments for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It combines a special type of radiation therapy (called PULSAR) with immunotherapy and chemotherapy plus a drug that targets blood vessels, to see if it helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
This trial tests a combination treatment that uses heat or cold (ablation) to destroy liver tumors along with medicines that boost your immune system to fight cancer. It is for people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver and who could not have surgery, or whose first treatment stopped working.
This study tests a new, more detailed ultrasound technique to better see liver tumors. It may help doctors understand your tumor better without extra procedures.
