Liver Transplant Oncology
If you have liver cancer, it’s important to know all your options. A liver transplant may be the right choice for you. At Northwestern Medicine, we offer liver transplant oncology to eligible patients and provide innovative approaches to transplant that are not widely available.
For a smoother care journey, our multi-specialty team provides world-class transplant and cancer care in one place. With timely evaluations, we can streamline liver and cancer care — and improve the chance of a successful transplant.
Organs from living donors often offer better outcomes and greater convenience. Here, we have a robust living donor transplant program that may help you get your transplant sooner.
Liver Transplant Treatments for Cancer
Cancer care can get overwhelming — that’s why we’ll be with you every step of the way. Our goal is to make sure you understand your diagnosis and your care plan. With our patient-centered approach, we’ll tailor your care to your unique needs and goals.
No matter what your cancer care plan is, we’ll work together with you and your treating oncologist.
Surgical Transplant Oncology
At Northwestern Memorial Hospital, which anchors our system, you’ll have one of the most experienced liver transplant programs in the U.S. right at your fingertips. We’re proud to beat the national average in patient survival rates one year after transplant with functioning graft, per the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, 2024.
Our innovative techniques include:
- Split-liver transplantation
- Image-guided, minimally invasive cancer therapies
- Both living and deceased donor liver transplants
- Ex-situ machine perfusion to preserve donor organs for longer, which increases patients’ access to donor organs
- The RAPID procedure for eligible patients with advanced colorectal cancer
