Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma less than 5 cm in patients with cirrhosis (Child's B or C) is an indication for hepatic transplantation. Hepatocellular carcinoma less than 5 cm in patients with cirrhosis (Child's A), although resectable, may in some cases be better treated by hepatic transplantation. Transplantation for HCC 5 cm or greater within a multimodality protocol has yielded excellent results at two years.
