Living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has been widely performed in patients with end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma in Japan. Although extrahepatic cancer survey for LDLT candidates is absolutely required, few reports have indicated the optimal surveillance method for colorectal cancer. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility and findings of colonoscopy before LDLT.
