Evidence suggests both liver transplantation and resection have roles in early HCC management.
Outcomes vary based on patient selection, tumor characteristics, and liver function.

Conclusions:

The optimal choice between liver transplantation and resection for early HCC in cirrhosis requires careful consideration of individual patient factors.
Further research is needed to definitively establish the superior treatment modality.
