A study looking at an MRI scan to diagnose bowel cancer (Streamline C)

Overview

Cancer types:

Bowel (colorectal) cancer

Status:

Closed

Phase:

Other

Details

This study is looking to see if a whole body MRI scan may be able to replace a range of tests for diagnosing bowel (colorectal) cancer.

If your doctor thinks you may have bowel cancer, you will have a number of tests to find out. If you have cancer, you will also have tests to work out the size of the cancer, and whether or not it has started to spread away from the bowel. This is called the stage of bowel cancer. It is important for doctors to know this so that they can choose the right treatment.

Recruitment start: 18 March 2013
