LT for Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastasis
Effectiveness of Liver Transplantation for Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastasis; Pilot Study
Seoul National University Hospital
20 participants
Aug 22, 2022
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Unlike hepatocellular carcinoma, liver transplantation in patients with liver metastasis from colorectal cancer is limited in only few centers. Previously, it was not generally implemented due to lack of organs and high recurrence rates after transplantation. However, due to progressive development in treatments, good results such as increased survival rates can be expected even in liver transplant patients with liver metastasis from colorectal cancer, which is known to have poor prognosis. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the efficacy of liver transplantation as an alternative treatment for liver metastasis from colorectal cancer.
