Summary

This study creates a registry to track outcomes of living donor liver transplants in adults with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and cannot be removed by surgery. Researchers will collect medical data to see how long patients live without the cancer returning and overall survival at 1, 3, and 5 years. The goal is to understand if this procedure can be a viable treatment option for this group of patients.

Active substance
living donor liver transplantation
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a new treatment option for patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and cannot be removed by standard surgery.
