Br J Cancer. 2023 May;128(10):1794-1796. doi: 10.1038/s41416-023-02234-w. Epub 2023 Mar 23.

Abstract

Transplantation for non-resectable colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) has become accepted for a few, select patients following stringent criteria. With improved understanding of the selective indications, enhanced curation of the donor pool, and by further insight into cancer biology, novel avenues for research may be developed and eventually benefit more patients with non-resectable CRLM.
