About this study

We retrospectively looks at the impact of the margin status and its size in mm on the recurrence rate in colo-rectal liver metastasis surgery.

Read the detailed description

Main objective : evaluation the margin status (<1mm, 1-4mm, 5-9mm, >10mm) on the survival and recurrence in colo-rectal liver metastases surgery.

Secondary objectives include :

Evaluate potentiel effects of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, portal embolisation, and evaluate potentiel bias such as size and number of liver metastases, TNM status of original tumor, timing between primary and metastasis, and extra-hepatic disease.

Methods :

A retrospective cohort study is built where all patients undergoing liver surgery for colorectal liver metastases between 2011 and 2015 are analysed. Subjects are separated in groups according to their margin status. The local and distal recurrence rates are measured and well as survival. Data is obtained through our hospital data management system. Inclusion criterias include age over 18, primary colorectal cancer metastatic to the liver, having undergone surgery between 2011 and 2015, available pathology reports with required data, available radiologic follow-up. Exclusion criterias include repeat liver resection, documented grossly positive margins (R2 resection), and unavailable pathologic information and follow-up. Using survival as primary outcome (Kaplan Meier) and considering 25% potential loss to follow-up, we calculated a sample size. Since this a retrospective study, no patient is directly contacted. Data will is handled by the surgery resident responsible for the project as well as by research assistants. Statistical analysis are performed accordingly.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall survival

    Patient is dead or aline

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)

    Advent of recurrence in the liver parenchyma, measured by any time of medical imaging

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Distant recurrence

    Advent of recurrence anywhere other than liver, measured by any time of medical imaging

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer Stage IV, run by Université de Sherbrooke.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall survival (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 May 2023.
