Brief Summary
MRI is a potentially powerful tool to reliably determine the intra-abdominal tumor load and relations with intra-abdominal organs. In recent years diffusion weighted MRI has proven its value as a highly sensitive technique to detect small malignant disease in a wide variety of cancers \[1-3\]. However, literature concerning the clinical impact of detecting peritoneal metastases with MRI is very limited. Therefore, there is a need for a large randomized multicenter trial to determine whether dedicated MRI can be used as a selection tool for CRS-HIPEC candidates in daily practice.

Study Arms (2)
experimental arm A
EXPERIMENTALpatients will undergo dedicated MRI imaging of the pelvis, abdomen, and thorax. Based on the findings of the MRI scan patients will be allocated to one of the diagnostic/treatment options
arm B
NO INTERVENTIONpatients will undergo the current standard diagnostic work-up of DLS at indication (MDT decision) and otherwise continue to CRS-HIPEC.
Interventions
Patients in Arm A will receive a MRI scan of their pelvis, abdomen, and thorax before possible surgery. During the MRI standard Gadolinium contrast agent and Buscopan is intravenously administered, which is standard clinical practice in abdominal MR imaging. Total scan time is 35 minutes and includes T2 weighted, T1 weighted, Diffusion weighted and dynamic contrast enhanced imaging of the abdomen and the thorax. The findings of this scan will be used to determine whether to proceed with CRS/HIPEC, DLS and then possibly CRS-HIPEC, or palliative care.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients with suspicion of colorectal peritoneal metastases and considered for CRS/HIPEC
- Age ≥18 years
- Written and signed informed consent
- WHO 0-2
- Able and willing to drink 1 liter of pineapple or blueberry juice
You may not qualify if:
- \- Patients with contraindications for the MRI:
- Patients who have a heart pacemaker may not have an MRI scan
- Patients who have a metallic foreign body (metal sliver) in their body
- Patients with severe claustrophobia
- Ineligible to receive gadofosveset (Gadolinium) contrast (history of contrast allergy, impaired kidney function with a Glomerular Filtration Rate \<30 ml/min/1.73m2)
- Ineligible to receive Buscopan
- Allergy for pineapple juice and blueberry juice.
- Patients with clinical contraindications for CRS/HIPEC
- Patients with radiological contra-indications for CRS/HIPEC observed on CT thorax/abdomen
- Massive mesenteric or small bowel involvement which would lead to short bowel syndrome if adequately resected
- Extra-peritoneal metastases for which CRS/HIPEC is not justifiable (such as lung metastases, skeletal metastases, and liver metastases)
- Inoperable retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy
- Patients with a known additional malignancy, unless o treated with curative intent at least five years ago. in situ cancers, basal cell carcinoma of the skin or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that have undergone potentially curative therapy within the past five years
