Liver transplant for colorectal cancer that spread to the liver
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special approach for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver: first removing the liver tumor, then doing a partial liver transplant, and later removing more liver tissue. The goal is to see if this can help people who otherwise have limited options.

This trial looks at using a living donor liver transplant for people whose colon or rectal cancer has spread to the liver in a way that can’t be removed with standard surgery. It may help if you might otherwise have limited options because your liver surgery would be too risky.
This trial tests whether a liver transplant plus salt solution (a special preservation fluid) can help people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach can stop cancer growth and improve survival.
This study looks at a specialized liver transplant approach using a living donor, for people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed by standard surgery. It’s meant for cases where chemotherapy has helped stop or shrink the tumors, to improve the chance of successful treatment.
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 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.
