โœฆ Synopsis

To arrive at a recommendation, our committee examined the following questions:

  1. Why is living donation necessary, and is it different for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)? 2. What is double equipoise, and how is it affected by the diagnosis of HCC? 3. Is a paired exchange appropriate if one or both recipients have HCC?

Methods

Literature searches were conducted, and additional references were provided by committee members.

Conference calls and e-mail exchanges were used to debate the relevant issues because there is a paucity of relevant published data.
