Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study is an interventional open label prospective study that aims to assess both overall and disease-free survival of patients treated with LDLT, partial or whole graft LT from deceased donors for unresectable CRLM. Secondary outcomes are graft survival and donor outcomes in terms of safety and quality of life. Donor selection is performed according to the currently used Institutional and National standards and protocols.
