Trial Information

Partial Liver Radiotherapy for Patients With Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastases


The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and feasibility of conformal radiation
therapy in patients with metastatic colorectal liver cancer. This study would also evaluate
local control rate within irradiated area and to assess failure patterns and survival of
patients treated with conformal liver radiation.


Inclusion Criteria:



- liver metastases unequivocally seen on contrast enhanced CT and/or MRI from colon or
rectal cancer, previously confirmed pathologically as adenocarcinoma

- either 1) the tumor must be unresectable, 2) the patient must be medically
inoperable, or 3) extra-hepatic metastases are present (making hepatic surgery an
inappropriate treatment option)

- good performance status (0-1)

- Age > 18 years. Adult patients of all ages, both sexes and all races will be included
in this study. Female patients within reproductive years may not be, nor become,
pregnant during participation in this study

- life expectancy > 3 months

Exclusion Criteria:

- patients with active hepatitis or clinically significant liver failure

- patients receiving anticoagulation treatment with warfarin or heparin

- prior radiation therapy to the right upper abdomen, precluding re-irradiation of the
liver

- clinically apparent ascites

- central nervous system metastases

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

To evaluate feasibility of conformal radiation therapy in patients with metastatic colorectal liver cancer and determine its safety
