Trial Outcomes & Findings for An Observational Study on Bevacizumab (Avastin) as First-Line Treatment in Colorectal Cancer Participants With Potentially Resectable Liver Metastases (NCT NCT01343901)

NCT ID: NCT01343901

Last Updated: 2017-04-25

Results Overview

Secondary resection involves removal of all detectable metastases at surgery including participants with missing metastases left in place. Percentage of participants without detectable metastatic disease after secondary resection removing all detectable metastases at surgery (including participants with disappeared metastases left in place \[missing metastases\]) was reported. Metastases was detected using computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
