New registry shows promise for microwave ablation in liver cancer spread
NCT ID NCT03775980
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This registry followed 500 adults with colorectal cancer that spread to the liver. All were treated with a microwave ablation device that uses heat to destroy tumors. The goal was to see how well the device controls tumors locally over 12 months and to track any side effects. The study is observational, meaning it simply recorded what happened in real-world use, without comparing to other treatments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Microwave ablation device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that microwave ablation is a safe and effective way to control liver tumors that have spread from colorectal cancer.
What could go wrong
This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so results may not prove the device is better than other treatments. Also, the procedure carries risks like bleeding or infection.
