First seen Nov 10, 2025 · Last updated Jun 06, 2026 · Updated 32 times

Summary

This study is for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and cannot be removed right away because the healthy part of the liver is too small. Doctors will use a treatment called Y-90 radioembolization to deliver radiation directly to the tumor side of the liver. The goal is to shrink the tumors and help the healthy side grow larger so surgery to remove the cancer becomes possible. About 50 participants will take part to see if this approach is safe and feasible.
