Conditions

Unresectable Liver-limited Colorectal Metastases

Brief summary

This is a single-arm, single institution pilot registry of liver transplantation in patients with unresectable colorectal liver-only metastases at Weill Cornell Medical College. Patients with liver predominant colorectal liver metastases will be screened based on eligibility criteria in a specified clinical hepatobiliary and colorectal liver metastasis tumor board consisting of the principal and co-investigators, representing medical oncology, transplant surgery, radiology, and pathology. The registry aims to track basic demographic data as well as referral patterns, in addition to specific oncologic data such as tumor burden, extent of disease, extent of disease on explant, recurrence rates, patterns of recurrence and survival rates.

Interventions

PROCEDURELiver transplant

Eligibility for liver transplantation will be limited to patients with histologically confirmed metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma who have achieved stability of liver metastasis on chemotherapy for at least 6 months prior to transplantation. All patients who undergo liver transplantation will start immunosuppressive therapy per protocol. Patients who undergo a successful liver transplant will not receive adjuvant therapy.
