Summary of outcomes for liver transplantation for neuroendocrine metastases.

Author, publication year Number of liver transplant (LT) patients Survival data Predictors of survival
Gedaly et al., 2011 [34] 150
(13 receiving another organ at time of LT)
49% 5-year survival Improved survival with patients waiting more than 2 months for transplant (P = .005), esp. in patients >55 years old

Mathe et al., 2011 [35] 89 44% 5-year survival 0% survival if >55 years old undergoing simultaneous pancreatic resection

Le Treut et al., 2008 [36] 85
(34 with concurrent extrahepatic resection)
Median OS: 56 months Exenteration, duodeno-pancreatic primary, and hepatomegaly were indicators of poor prognosis (all RR of death > 2.6)

Rosenau et al., 2002 [37] 19 50% 10-year survival Ki-67 <5% and normal E-cadherin expression had 100% 7-year survival
