Various local cancer treatments became possible in the cure of hepatocellular carcinoma. Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEIT), a local ablation therapy such as microwave and radiofrequency were added to the transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and hepatectomy. However, it is also a well-known fact to repeat hepatic carcinogenesis by the conditions of a background liver whereas to originate in the viral hepatitis. In this point of view, liver transplantation is one of the ultimate treatments to get rid of the carcinogenic factor. A 54-year-old man patient diagnosed as HCC strongly hoped for the prospective liver transplantation surgery from the beginning. Therefore, we had to treat a liver cancer in consideration of the prospective liver transplantation. A local ablation therapy and TACE treatment were carried out with being careful not to have an influence to the transplantation surgery.

We reported the process of local treatments against HCC in consideration of the prospective liver transplantations.
