Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
Study rationale- BCLC C hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) downstaged with locoregional therapy (LRT) has acceptable 5 year post transplant survival. We propose to study the effect of systemic therapy with/without locoregional therapy for downstaging HCC and to see post transplant outcomes like overall survival, recurrence, surgical complications and rejection. Case series are available for the same where patients downstaged with systemic therapy have been successfully transplanted  but there is no large prospective multicentric data.
