Brief Summary

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

This study is designed to treat tumors in the liver that cannot be removed surgically and chemotherapy cannot control these tumors, using radiation therapy and a more precise delivery than has been used before.

Detailed Description

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and feasibility of conformal radiation therapy in patients with metastatic colorectal liver cancer. This study would also evaluate local control rate within irradiated area and to assess failure patterns and survival of patients treated with conformal liver radiation.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* liver metastases unequivocally seen on contrast enhanced CT and/or MRI from colon or rectal cancer, previously confirmed pathologically as adenocarcinoma
* either 1) the tumor must be unresectable, 2) the patient must be medically inoperable, or 3) extra-hepatic metastases are present (making hepatic surgery an inappropriate treatment option)
* good performance status (0-1)
* Age \> 18 years. Adult patients of all ages, both sexes and all races will be included in this study. Female patients within reproductive years may not be, nor become, pregnant during participation in this study
* life expectancy \> 3 months

Exclusion Criteria

* patients with active hepatitis or clinically significant liver failure
* patients receiving anticoagulation treatment with warfarin or heparin
* prior radiation therapy to the right upper abdomen, precluding re-irradiation of the liver
* clinically apparent ascites
* central nervous system metastases
