Other candidates for a liver transplant include people with serious liver diseases other than cancer, such as hepatitis B and C. Unfortunately, people who qualify for a liver transplant are competing for a limited supply of donor organs, Dr. Greten said. (cancer.gov)
The tactic is aimed at priming a transplant recipient's immune system to better tolerate liver tissue from a living donor. (msdmanuals.com)
A week before the transplant, the recipient receives an infusion of specific immune system cells from the donor -- ones that, in theory, could tone down any immune system attack on the new "foreign" liver. (msdmanuals.com)
