New hope for frail cancer patients: targeted radiation without harsh chemo
NCT ID NCT05092880
First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026
Summary
This study tested a treatment called radioembolization for elderly or frail patients with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver. Instead of strong chemotherapy, tiny radioactive beads are injected into the liver's blood supply to kill tumors from the inside. The goal was to see if this approach could control the cancer with fewer side effects and better quality of life. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.
