Perfusion CT as a Predictor of Treatment Response in Patients With Rectal Cancer
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT01460641
Purpose
A research study of rectal cancer perfusion (how blood flows to the rectum over time). We
hope to learn whether perfusion characteristics of rectal masses may be predictive of
response to treatment and whether rectal perfusion characteristics can be used to follow
response to treatment.
