Long-Term Survival, Prognostic Factors, and Selection of Patients With Colorectal Cancer for Liver Transplant: A Nonrandomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Liver transplant for colorectal cancer with liver metastases was abandoned in the 1990s due to poor overall survival. From 2006, liver transplant for in nonresectable colorectal liver metastases has been reexamined through different prospective trials.

Objective

To determine predictive factors for transplant long-term survival and cure after liver transplant.

Design, setting, and participants

This was a prospective, nonrandomized controlled cohort study derived from different clinical trials on liver transplant for colorectal liver metastases from 2006 to 2020 at Oslo University Hospital. The trials differed in prognostic inclusion criteria, but the design was otherwise identical regarding follow-up scheme to determine disease recurrence, overall survival,
