Core Tip Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a poor prognosis if untreated. Screening is challenging due to the lack of specific biomarkers. Successful screening is very important as early diagnosis can provide curative opportunities. Orthotopic liver transplantation (LT) is the best therapeutic option for early, unresectable HCC. When transplantation occurs within the established Milan criteria, the outcomes are good. The shortage of organs from deceased donors led to the adoption of extended criteria. Several measures have been taken to solve these problems including prioritization of patients with HCC, use of pretransplant adjuvant treatment, and living donor LT.
