Treatment of Metastatic Breast Cancer with Liver Transplantation

: Resection of liver metastases is accepted as an appropriate treatment for colorectal metastases in suitable patients. Liver transplant is not often used for malignant disease as there is a high incidence of undetectable micrometastases elsewhere and recurrence is likely. The effects of immunosuppression may also enhance the growth of malignant cells at other sites. We report a case where a young patient with undiagnosed breast cancer with axillary and liver metastases underwent liver transplantation and is effectively leading a normal life 33 months after transplant.
