Detailed Description
This study will investigate the accuracy of ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI in detecting lymph nodes that have been invaded by tumor cells in patients with colorectal cancer. This study will be performed in addition to any ongoing routine care and will not serve as a substitute for any imaging tests that would be routinely performed prior to surgery.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI This is a single-arm study. All enrolled patients will have a ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI scan. |
Drug: Ferumoxytol
All study patients will receive a dose of ferumoxytol for the MRI. Ferumoxytol will be administered intravenously at a dose of 6 mg/kg, for a maximum dose of 510 mg.

Other: Magnetic Resonance Imaging
All study patients will undergo a ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI in addition to any other ongoing care for colorectal cancer. Histopathologic analysis of lymph nodes will be the gold standard for determining lymph node status.
