Seeking new criteria for LT and developing updated algorithms for HCC treatment has become a hot topic nowadays. With the experience in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), especially in Asian countries, LDLT was established and adopted with different criteria for HCC treatment, especially including criteria beyond Milan's size and number of tumors. Living donor grafts are uniquely different than deceased donor grafts as they are not considered a public resource. A living donor graft is rather a private gift intended for a specific recipient.
