Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to study the way radioembolization works by collecting biopsy samples of participants' tumors after the procedure. This research may improve the way that radioembolization is performed, which could help people whose cancer has spread to the liver. The research may also provide information about how tumors respond to radioembolization.

Primary Outcome

Determine the feasibility of correlating tissue necrosis and radiation-induced cell injury levels with delivered dose within the target colorectal cancer liver metastases (CLM) and the uninvolved liver parenchyma.
