Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for Unresectable Liver Metastases

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for the Treatment of Unresectable Liver Metastases in Patients With Colorectal Adenocarcinoma, Carcinoma of the Anal Canal and Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

This is a Phase II study to determine the efficacy of SBRT to treat liver metastases in patients with Colorectal Adenocarcinoma, Carcinoma of the Anal Canal and Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors that are not amenable to surgery. Patients should have no evidence of extra-hepatic disease or have disease that is planned to be treated with curative intent. Therefore, SBRT is being considered as a potentially curative procedure.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) equal or greater than 70 - 1 to 4 liver metastases with an individual maximum diameter of up to 5 cm - Lesions considered unresectable or patients considered unfit for surgery - Histology of the primary tumor: colorectal adenocarcinoma, carcinoma of the anal canal or gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors. - Absence of evidence of extra-hepatic disease or extra-hepatic disease to be treated with curative intent. - Minimum interval of 2 weeks between systemic chemotherapy and SBRT. - Adequate bone marrow function defined as: - absolute neutrophils count \> 1,800 cells / mm 3 - platelets \> 100,000 cells / mm 3 - hemoglobin \> 8.0 g / dl ( transfusion or other intervention accepted) Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Concomitant chemotherapy - Prior radiotherapy to the upper abdomen - Pregnancy - Underlying Cirrhosis - Active hepatitis or clinically significant liver failure - Prior invasive neoplasm except for non-melanoma skin cancer, or unless more than five years without evidence of disease - Severe Comorbidity - Current anticoagulant treatment Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
