Abstract Over the last decade, multiple clinical trials have demonstrated a survival benefit for liver transplantation in colorectal cancer with liver metastases. Additionally, advances in donor organ preservation have expanded organ availability affording the opportunity to expand indications for liver transplantation, such as colorectal cancer with unresectable liver metastases. Current data support comparable overall survival (OS) for liver transplantation for colorectal cancer with liver metastases compared with general liver transplantation recipients. Supported by this data, in the United States, allocation policy is changing to include deceased donor livers for patients with unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastases. Available studies to date demonstrate improved outcomes with primary tumor R0 resection, 6-12 months of pretransplantation chemotherapy, and careful radiologic restaging (including positron emission tomography/computed tomography) to confirm lack of extrahepatic disease. A response to pretransplantation chemotherapy is a key predictor of long-term outcomes and progression during chemotherapy appears to be a contraindication to proceeding to transplant. A carcinoembryonic antigen level ≤80 µg/L and largest liver tumor dimension <5.5 cm are both associated with improved progression-free and OS in the available literature. Liver transplantation for colorectal cancer with unresectable liver metastases is associated with longer progression-free and OS compared with chemotherapy alone. Patient selection based on imaging, laboratory, and clinical findings is critical to identify patients most likely to benefit. Liver transplantation should be considered at all centers with an active transplant program to improve outcomes for patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
