First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study tested whether adding the drug pembrolizumab to standard radiation or ablation could help control metastatic colorectal cancer. The idea was that the combination might boost the immune system to attack tumors that were not directly treated. 34 people who had already tried multiple standard treatments took part. The goal was to see if tumors outside the treated area would shrink.
