Purpose of this Study
We are doing this study to find out whether it is possible to use genetic information from your tumor sample in order to test if your tumor will be sensitive to oxaliplatin (the standard of care treatment for your disease).
Who Can Participate?
Eligibility
Adults who:
- Are 18 or older
- Have evidence of cancer of the colon or rectum that is metastatic to the liver
- Are able to have a fresh biopsy of their tumor
- Have not received treatment with oxaliplatin, but who’s provider is planning to treat with oxaliplatin
- Are 18 or older
- Have evidence of cancer of the colon or rectum that is metastatic to the liver
- Are able to have a fresh biopsy of their tumor
- Have not received treatment with oxaliplatin, but who’s provider is planning to treat with oxaliplatin
What is Involved?
If you choose to join this study you will:
-Go through a screening period which will last about 4 weeks
-Have physical exams
