Core Tip	This review includes the most relevant outcomes of liver transplantation (LT) for both primary and metastatic tumors. The use of LT for malignancies has been debated because of the recurrence rate caused by the negative impact of immunosuppressive therapy; however, recent studies show that accurate selection of candidates and pre-LT treatments (surgical, loco-regional or chemotherapeutical) may improve recurrence-free survival. We report the recommendations and accepted guidelines for the use of LT for hepatic tumors and the long term results from the most recent literature; our policy for these indications is also reported.
