Trial of Preoperative Hepatic and Regional Arterial Chemotherapy (PHRAC) to Prevent Postoperative Liver Metastasis of Colorectal Cancer (PHRAC)

March 24, 2009 updated by: Fudan University

A Prospective,Multi-Center,Randomized Control Trial of Preoperative Hepatic and Regional Arterial Chemotherapy(PHRAC) Using Oxaliplatin, Fluorodeoxyuridine(FUDR) and Mitomycin C(MMC) to Prevent Postoperative Liver Metastasis of Colorectal Cancer

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether preoperative hepatic and regional arterial chemotherapy are able to prevent liver metastasis and improve overall survival in patients receiving curative colorectal cancer resection.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

We administered FUDR, MMC and Oxaliplatin as preoperative hepatic and regional arterial chemotherapy (PHRAC) to patients with Stage II or Stage III colorectal cancer without apparent liver metastasis based on a thorough preoperative evaluation. The study endpoints were disease-free survival, overall survival, and liver metastasis-free survival as evaluated by intent-to-treat analysis.
