Abstract
Improved results following liver transplantation (LT) over the past 20 years have led clinicians to push boundaries and expand its indications. LT in non-resectable colorectal liver metastases (NCRLM) is being revisited with an aim to radically improve survival. By utilizing new tools for preoperative patient selection, modern operative techniques for LT and an aggressive attitude against metastases, long-term survival, and even cure could be expected. This paper reviews the current status of liver transplantation for NCRLM with an eye on the future.
