What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that MRI helps doctors decide when surgery is possible for liver-only colorectal cancer spread, potentially improving treatment decisions.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test a new therapy. Results may not change standard care immediately.
