Description
Mario Romeo and ten co-authors reviewed how liver transplants are now used for liver cancers in a 2026 paper. Such cancers are often found late, when cutting them out is no longer an option. Transplant was once kept for a narrow set of liver tumors that met strict size rules.
Selection now leans on tumor biology and response to prior treatment, not size alone. For the main liver cancer, wider rules and steps that shrink tumors first have let more patients qualify. For bile duct cancer, set drug paths before transplant have given strong survival in chosen patients. Even spread from bowel cancer, once a flat bar, now qualifies in select cases. The review maps this shift toward care tuned to each tumor.
