Brief Summary

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

To date no prospective trials have been completed that demonstrated whether RFA is an effective adjunct to systemic chemotherapy (target therapy) with respect to advantages in overall survival compared with chemotherapy (target therapy) alone. The primary objective of this trial is to determine overall survival for patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis are treated with radiofrequency ablation plus chemotherapy ± target therapy, compared to chemotherapy ± target therapy only.
