Improving the prediction of metastatic disease in primary colorectal cancer


ABSTRACT: Background and study aims We are carrying out a study to see if we can improve the imaging of colorectal cancer using a type of Computed Tomography (CT) scan known as perfusion CT. This type of scan can measure blood supply to tumours and we hope to use this information to improve our understanding of how tumours may behave and so future treatment. Who can participate? Men and women, aged 18 years or over, with suspected or proven colorectal cancer. What does the study involve? Participants will undergo an additional CT scan, which lasts approximately 2 minutes. This is carried out at the same time as the usual CT scan that participants would normally have. During the scan a dye will be administered through a needle in the participant's arm. Also, a bowel relaxant called buscopan will be given by injection to achieve a better quality scan image. Participants will continue to attend clinic visits for the first three years following the additional scan.
