Core Tip Liver transplantation is an established but uncommon treatment for patients with unresectable liver metastases from neuroendocrine tumors. This scoping review mapped the available evidence, identifying 73 studies (case series, retrospective cohorts, and reviews). Reported outcomes suggest improved overall survival in selected patients compared to non-transplant strategies, although data heterogeneity and the lack of high-level evidence limit definitive conclusions. Our findings highlight the need for prospective, multicenter studies and standardized selection criteria to optimize patient outcomes and better define the role of transplantation in this setting.
