Abstract
- The presence of a pre-existing or recent extra-hepatic solid tumor was considered for a long time as an absolute contraindication to liver transplantation, by fear of futility with an unacceptable increase in non-liver-related mortality. However, cancer-related mortality in solid malignancies is heterogeneous, and experts suggest that case-by-case multidisciplinary decisions should be made. Here, we report the cases of 3 patients with favorable oncological and liver outcome in patients with renal cell carcinoma detected during pre-transplant evaluation that nonetheless underwent liver transplantation.
