Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of primary tumor resection on the metabolic activity of metastases in patients with a colorectal primary tumor and synchronous liver metastases by positron emission tomography (PET) with 2-deoxy-2-fluoro\[18F\]-D-glucose (FDG-PET) scanning.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the activity of liver metastases before and after resection of the primary tumor. Non-invasive assessment of tumor metabolism is possible in vivo by means of positron emission tomography (PET)-scanning. Therefore, FDG-PET scan offers a suitable approach to determine the influence of removal of a primary colorectal tumor on metabolic activity of the liver metastases. The FDG uptake in the liver metastases is quantified by calculating standardised uptake values (SUVs).
