SALT for Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastases
Sponsor: RenJi Hospital
Summary
Colon cancer is a common malignancy with a low survival rate worldwide, and unresectable colon cancer liver metastases (ICRLM) have a worse prognosis. The liver is the most common metastatic organ of colorectal cancer, and palliative chemotherapy is the only option for most ICRLM patients. Regrettably, the median survival time of all patients receiving chemotherapy is only 2 years, and the 5-year survival rate is only 10%. Liver transplantation is an ideal choice for patients with ICRLM, which can significantly improve the postoperative survival rate. But the most serious problem facing such patients is the shortage of donor livers. In 2015, Norwegian scholars proposed a new surgical method, that is, resection and partial liver segment (2-3 segment) transplantation combined with delayed total hepatectomy can greatly alleviate the shortage of liver donors in the above-mentioned patients. Based on the experience of clinical operation, our center proposes and designs a clinical study of sequential adult left lateral lobe liver transplantation (SALT) for the treatment of iCRLM. On the basis of RAPID, the safety and efficacy of sequential adult left lateral lobe liver transplantation were evaluated for the above patients.

sequential adult left lateral lobe liver transplantation (SALT)
Hemihepatectomy combined with left lateral lobe liver transplantation was performed first, and residual liver resection was performed after the graft grew to a sufficient functional liver volume.
