Zusammenfassung: | There has been growing enthusiasm in the transplantation community for liver transplant for colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs). Hernandez-Alejandro et al present a prospective series of 10 living donor liver transplants (LDLTs) for this indication, from 3 high-volume and leading transplant institutions in North America.
