Core Tip	We compared advanced-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who underwent liver transplantation (LT) or liver resection (LR) after successful downstaging therapy, and the recurrence rates and survival outcomes were similar, although the postoperative complication rate was higher for the LT group. The Milan criteria are one of the most strict and accepted criteria for HCC patients to determine eligibility for LT or LR. Therefore, our use of this selection criteria may make this study more ideal than others. Meanwhile, all of our patients accepted successful pre-operative down-staging therapy, the long waiting time can successful avoid the selective bias. So our comparison and results are more credible.
