Recommendations for research

The guideline committee has made the following recommendations for research.

1 Treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer in the lung

What is the cost effectiveness and safety of non-surgical ablation and stereotactic body radiotherapy compared to resection for people with metastatic colorectal cancer in the lung amenable to local treatment?

For a short explanation of why the committee made the recommendation for research, see the rationale on people with metastatic colorectal cancer in the lung.

Full details of the evidence and the committee's discussion are in evidence review D3: treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer in the lung amenable to local treatment.

2 Management of low anterior resection syndrome

What is the effectiveness and safety of sacral nerve stimulation and transanal irrigation compared to symptomatic treatment for people with major low anterior resection syndrome?

For a short explanation of why the committee made the recommendation for research, see the rationale on management of low anterior resection syndrome.

Full details of the evidence and the committee's discussion are in evidence review E2: optimal management of low anterior resection syndrome.
