Liver transplant for colorectal cancer spread to the liver
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your main colon tumor was removed with standard surgery and had no visible tumor left behind (R0).
- Your cancer in the liver is considered “non-resectable,” meaning it can’t be safely removed with surgery.
- There is no cancer found outside the liver and no local return of colon cancer on scans and colonoscopy.
- Your general health is good (you can do most usual activities: ECOG 0 or 1).
- Your blood counts are adequate, especially neutrophils above 1,000.
- You had at least one chemotherapy treatment for at least 3 months, with the cancer responding or staying stable.

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 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 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 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 trial compares liver transplantation to standard chemotherapy for people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be removed surgically. It looks at whether transplant can help patients live longer or better than chemotherapy in the right patients.
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.
