Canadian liver transplant allocation for hepatocellular carcinoma
We read with great interest the recent review by Tschuor et al.1 reviewing the allocation policies of liver grafts worldwide. The authors should be congratulated on their hard work on this very important document. However, the description of allocation policies for liver cancer in liver transplantation in Canada and the number of liver transplants performed are not completely accurate and as such, we would like to clarify the details.
