Can a liver with mets from colon cancer be trans planted?

my friend has colon cancer and it spread to his liver which is now shutting down, can he get a transplant. we need to get answers soon it is getting bad please help... thank you

In the US, people who have cancer in other areas of their body other than the liver would not be considered for a liver transplant. If they transplanted the liver into this person, it is likely that the cancer would recur in the liver and the patient would end up dying from the cancer eventually. Source(s): Health care provider.

could be theoritcally but hos prognosis is bad , and other people deserve it more
if you've contacted UNOS, that's the only way in the US. I know of people going overseas (singapore, etc) but that's much more risky, it's a lot more unknown and a lot less regulated. If his colon has been removed that i suppose it's a possibility, but I doubt UNOS will have anything to do with it since it might have spread elsewhere and the tumors haven't grown big enough to detect yet.
It is unlikely that he would get a liver from the donor list because of his cancer/prognosis.
UNOS can help you. However, since your friend has another form of concer it's unlikely they would give him an organ anytime in the next several years. People with other kinds of rampant cancer don't get organs, organs are generally for those whose organs are failing, but aren't cancerous or metastatic.
I REALY THINK THE ANSWER IS NO......HE HAS AN UNDERLYING DISEASE.
