Conditions
Neoplasm Metastases

Interventions
Other: Diffusion Weighted MRI scan
Registration Number
NCT02246634
Lead Sponsor
Imperial College London
Brief Summary

Eligible patients with high risk colorectal malignancy (T3/4, spread greater than 5mm, EMVI positive) will have additional surveillance of breath hold T1, T2 and DW-MRIs (no IV contrast) post surgery six monthly for three years.

Findings of liver MRIs as reported by radiology PI will be shared with their local MDT who make decisions as appropriate, including the management of any identified liver metastases, according to local protocol.

Detailed Description

A phase II multicentre, interventional study to determine if additional staging at diagnosis with liver DW-MRI will diagnose more synchronous metastases than CT alone in patients with high risk colorectal cancer. Liver metastases found on the additional DW-MRI scans will be discussed at MDT and treated according to local policy.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Liver metastases found on the additional DW-MRI scans will be discussed at MDT and treated according to local site policy.5 years after last recruit (end of trial)

Proportion of additional patients diagnosed with liver metastases on DW MRI compared with CT.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To compare the baseline risk factors of the primary tumour against the timing and pattern of metastatic disease relapse in the liver.5 years after last recruit (end of trial)

% of patients diagnosed with liver metastases according to known prognostic risk factors

To determine the sensitivity and specificity of DW-MRI as a screening method for liver lesions in patients with high risk colorectal cancer.5 years after last recruit (end of trial)

% lesions suspected as metastatic on DW MRI confirmed by subsequent 'gold standard' of contrast enhanced MRI and/or surgical resection, and/or progressive enlargement of the lesion.

To describe the cancer specific disease free survival and overall survival outcomes in patients with and without liver metastases.6mth, 12mth, 18mth, 2yr, 3yr

Survival and recurrence outcomes according to presence or absence of liver metastases

To describe the impact of MR screening on treatment received by patients who are diagnosed with liver metastases.5 years after last recruit (end of trial)

Proportion of patients undergoing curative treatment and methods of treatment

To characterise the patients diagnosed through screening with liver metastasis in the SERENADE study using the Fong criteria.5 years after last recruit (end of trial)

Fong score of all patients with liver metastases
