Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: assessment, by CEUS, of early response to antiangiogenic treatment in patients with liver mets from colorectal cancer treated by Bevacizumab plus Folfiri every 14 days (or by other protocols including 5FU and Irinotecan plus bevacizumab). Aim: Early assessment of the antiangiogenetic effectiveness of bevacizumab studied by CEUS vs RECIST criteria. The?target? lesions are only the ones measurable and the ones susceptible of reiterable measuring in CEUS. After US identification of a ?target? lesion the microcirculation of which will be evaluated by CEUS.;Secondary Objective: not declared in the protocol;Primary end point(s): Early assessment of the antiangiogenetic effectivenes of bevacizumab studied by CEUS vs RECIST criteria
