Liver transplant for colon cancer that spread only to the liver
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies using a liver transplant to treat colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver but not anywhere else. It may help people with limited liver-only spread whose disease hasn’t worsened for a while.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have confirmed colon or rectal adenocarcinoma (a specific type of colon/rectal cancer).
- Scans (PET/CT) and a colonoscopy show no cancer outside the liver and no local regrowth.
- Your most recent PET/CT (about 4 weeks before screening) also shows no cancer outside the liver.
- You are 18–65 years old and strong enough for treatment (ECOG 0–1, meaning you’re fully active or limited but up and about).
- Your liver spots have been stable or getting smaller for at least 6 months, and you waited at least set time after diagnosis and surgery.
- Blood and organ tests look adequate (including blood count, liver numbers, kidney function, and albumin).

This trial studies liver transplantation for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be surgically removed. It aims to see if transplant can improve outcomes when the cancer is limited to the liver.
This trial studies whether a liver transplant can help people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver (but not elsewhere). It aims to improve outcomes by removing the diseased liver when the cancer has responded to chemotherapy and can still be controlled.
This study looks at whether a liver transplant can help people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver but cannot be removed by surgery. It also checks whether certain cancer features, treatment history, and blood/health status make transplant safer or more effective.
This trial studies whether liver transplant (rather than removing the liver tumors) can help some people with colon or rectal cancer spread to the liver. It’s meant for people whose cancer has responded or stayed controlled on standard treatments and who have no cancer outside the liver.
This trial studies liver transplantation for certain people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to improve outcomes for carefully selected patients whose cancer is controlled on chemotherapy and who meet specific safety and scan requirements.
This trial tests whether transplanting part of the liver can help people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be removed with surgery. It also aims to make sure the cancer is limited mainly to the liver and that you are healthy enough for major treatment.
