Liver Transplantation

This treatment can not be recommended for patients with hepatic metastases. This aggressive treatment will not cure patients as the majority will have early recurrence of the tumor. However, liver transplantation has been shown to be effective treatment in patients with small hepatocellular cancers and other rare tumors (i.e., epitheloid hemangioendothioloma, neuroendocrine carcinoma).
