First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a procedure called transarterial infusion chemotherapy (TAIC) for people with colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Instead of giving chemo through a vein, TAIC delivers it directly to the tumor's blood supply, which may boost effectiveness and reduce side effects. The trial will enroll 30 participants and compare TAIC plus targeted drugs to standard intravenous chemo.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a more effective and less toxic treatment option for people with colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.

What could go wrong
