Indications for liver transplantation (LT) have constantly been evolving during the last few decades due to a better understanding of liver diseases and innovative therapies. Likewise, also the underlying causes of liver disease have changed. In the setting of transplant oncology, recent developments have pushed the boundaries of oncological indications for LT outside hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), especially for secondary liver tumors, such as neuroendocrine and colorectal cancer. In the next years, as more evidence emerges, LT could become the standard treatment for well-selected metastatic liver tumors. In this manuscript, we review and summarize the available evidence for LT in liver tumors beyond HCC with a focus on metastatic liver malignancies, highlighting the importance of these new concepts for future implications.

BACKGROUND: The goal of our study was to evaluate our hitherto 4-year surgical treatment of liver malignancies. METHODS: Our team performed 43 liver resections from 1997 to 2000. Of these, 10 were primary tumours and 33 metastases. The most frequent indication for resection in our sample was for colorectal cancer - in total 27 patients. Metastatic pancreatic cancer or metastases of malignant melanoma account for rarer indications to surgery We considered CT arterioportography (CTAP) as the most significant preoperative examination from all available radiological methods. RESULTS Proper resection of the liver is possible even without special technical equipment. No patient between the ages of 22 - 82 years died in the 30-day postoperative period. Our postoperative morbidity was 18.6%. The most frequent complication was prolonged biliary secretion from drains. In our study, recurrent liver malignancies occurred most frequently within 6 months from the primary resection. CONCLUSION: Radical resection procedure may be facilitated for the greatest number of patients with primary or metastatic liver malignancies by the cohesive cooperation of a number of specialists.
