Liver Transplant Services

Primary candidates for liver transplantation are those who have cirrhosis along with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), also known as hepatoma or primary liver cancer.

Liver transplants often cure people with early-stage HCC.

Occasionally, liver transplantation is an option for other types of liver tumors.

The experts at the UPMC Liver Cancer Center will help decide on the best treatment option for you.
