    AbstractThe indications, effectiveness, and other relevant problems of the orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are still under controversy in our country. This article collects and analyzes resent published literatures as well as the clinical data of 112 patients who underwent OLT for HCC in our hospital, and tries to investigate the staging system of HCC, liver allocation policy for OLT, expanded criteria for OLT in HCC, tumor management when awaiting transplantation, prognostic factors of recurrence, and principles to make a choice between resection and transplantation in patients with HCC. It is most important to establish a staging system and transplantation indications for liver transplantation of HCC in China.
