Dr. Amit Singal, MD, of UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, provides an overview of surgery and transplant for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). He explains that liver resection and liver transplantation are the two main surgeries that may offer the best chance of a cure. These procedures offer the best long-term survival and lowest recurrence risk but are generally limited to patients with early-stage disease. Dr. Singal emphasizes the importance of identifying tumors early and referring patients promptly for evaluation, as timely access to surgery or transplant can greatly improve outcomes in liver cancer treatment.
