Brief Summary
This study aims to assess the clinical benefit of local ablative therapy (LAT) following initial standard first-line systemic treatment including the impact on survival, compared to continued standard first-line systemic treatment for oligometastatic colorectal cancer.
Intervention / Treatment
- Procedure: Local Ablative Therapy
- Procedure: Standard first-line systemic treatment
Inclusion Criteria:
- Metastatic colorectal adenocarcinomacancer arising from mucus-producing glands in organs that is not amenable to potentially oncological curative surgery alone.
- Primary tumour must be controlled if the primary is intact, with no evidence of progression at primary site prior to study entry
- Imaging demonstrating ongoing treatment benefit (partial response or stable disease as per RECIST criteria) after 3-4 months of standard first-line systemic treatment.
- At least one metastatic lesion detected on CT +/- FDG-PET scan prior to first line systemic treatment AND on screening FDG-PET and CT scans, meeting the following criteria:
- max of 3 lesions per organ except for the liver and lung
- max of 5 lesions in the lung
- no limitation to the number of liver lesions provided they are all amenable to LAT
- max of 3 involved organs including a lymph node station
- only one lymph node station involvement is allowed
- for patients with liver metastases, a quadruple phase contrast enhanced CT or MRI liver is required to fully stage the liver; this can be performed prior to or within 4 weeks of commencing first line systemic treatment
- staging FDG-PET scan is encouraged and can be performed prior to or within 4 weeks of commencing first line systemic treatment
- All lesions can be safely treated by LAT as determined by multidisciplinary team meeting.
