Abstract

A concise, yet objective overview of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) treatment in 2006 with an intent to transplant is presented. The most significant variables impacting on the use of hepatic transplantation as therapy for primary liver cancer are developed under the headings of: Staging Criteria; Organ allocation; Transplant dropout minimization therapies; and Effects on the HCC general population. The pertinent medical literature and update of an ongoing intent‐to‐treat HCC with transplant single center randomized control trial are reviewed. J. Surg. Oncol. 2007;95:674–679.
