Magnetic Resonance Study of Liver in Chemotherapy

NCT00578838 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 55

Last updated 2016-05-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to see whether magnetic resonance (MR) techniques can detect changes caused by chemotherapy in the livers of patients who have been treated for colorectal cancer. Some patients who undergo chemotherapy for colorectal cancer may experience side-effects in their livers. These side effects may influence further treatment options. If this study finds that MR techniques detect changes in the liver due to chemotherapy, then MR methods may eventually be used to help patients and physicians plan further treatment.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Magnetic Resonance

Patients each will undergo 4 MR examinations as part of this research study.

OTHER

Magnetic Resonance

You will have two MR exams on two different days. There will be no injection of contrast material. An MR exam requires about 1 hour. The second MR exam will take place 2-3 weeks after the first one. This second MR exam will take about 1 hour and will look at whether the results from the MR exams are reliable and repeatable.
