Summary

This study is tracking 20 adults aged 18-65 with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver and cannot be surgically removed. Participants will receive a liver transplant, and researchers will monitor cancer recurrence and survival rates. The goal is to see if a transplant can help control the disease long-term.
