Whats treatment for small early hepatocellular carcinoma?

LIVER TRANSPLANT: Liver transplant is the best option for cure. You need referal to a transplant center and be seen by a multispecialty team. Since it may take time to obtain a liver there are certain therapies that are used as a bridge to transplant. Radiofrequency ablation - burning of tumor. Chemoembolization - infusing chemotherapy into tumor and then blocking the artery that feeds it.

Hcc: Liver transplant will take out the tumor and also replace the liver that is at risk for getting new hcc. If the patient is not a candidate for transplant then resection of the tumor would be the best treatment for small hcc. If that is not possible ablation would give the best durable therapy for locoregional treatment of a small hcc.
