The development of liver metastases in colon rectal cancer has a strong impact on the overall survival (OS) of the patient, with a 5-year survival rate of 5% with palliative treatment. Surgical resection combined with pharmacological treatment can achieve a 5-year OS rate of 31-58%. However, in only 20% of patients with colon rectal liver metastases (CRLMs), liver resection is feasible. In highly selected patients, recent trials and studies proved that liver transplantation (LT) for non-resectable CRLM is a surgical option with an excellent long-term OS. The paper aims to review the indications and outcome of LT for CRLMs, with a special focus on immunosuppressive therapy and the management of local and extrahepatic recurrence after LT.
结直肠癌肝转移的发生对患者的总生存期(OS)有重大影响,姑息治疗的5年生存率为5%。手术切除联合药物治疗可使5年OS率达到31% - 58%。然而,在仅20%的结直肠癌肝转移(CRLM)患者中,肝切除是可行的。在经过严格筛选的患者中,近期的试验和研究证明,对于不可切除的CRLM进行肝移植(LT)是一种具有出色长期OS的手术选择。本文旨在综述CRLM患者LT的适应证和结局,特别关注免疫抑制治疗以及LT后局部和肝外复发的管理。
