Chemotherapy and/or Metastasectomy in Treating Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Adenocarcinoma With Lung Metastases (NCT03599752)

The Role of Multimodality Management in Risk-Stratified Patients With Lung-Limited Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This phase II trial studies how well chemotherapy and/or metastasectomy work in treating patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma that has spread to the lungs (metastases). Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Metastasectomy is a surgical procedure that removes tumors formed from cells that have spread from other places in the body. It is not yet known if chemotherapy and metastasectomy together works better in treating patients with metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma with lung metastases.
