NCT ID NCT05129787
First seen Feb 14, 2026 · Last updated May 18, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study compares two treatments for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver: surgical removal of the tumors versus a less invasive needle ablation technique that uses heat or cold to destroy them. About 230 patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The main goal is to see if needle ablation works as well as surgery at preventing the tumors from growing back.
