Study Overview
Brief Summary
To examine radio frequency ablation as a treatment supplement to stimulate immunogenicity and improve survival for patients undergoing curative-intent surgery for colorectal liver metastases.
Detailed Description
PURPOSE:
To investigate the impact of immunostimulation using radio frequency ablation (RFA) on survival in patients undergoing curative-intent surgery for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM).
HYPOTHESIS:
RFA-mediated partial destruction of CRLM will stimulate the immune system to recognize otherwise hidden cancer antigens, which in turn will improve survival by inhibiting micrometastases and recurrence.
