title: Liver transplant in Hawai'i: over a hundred cases.
abstract: One hundred and two liver transplants have been performed since the program's inception in Hawai'i in 1993. Viral hepatitis continues to be the primary indication for liver transplant, though hepatocellular cancer is involved in 23.5% of cases. One, 3 and 5-year patient survival rates have been 88%, 79%, and 74% respectively which is comparable to mainland centers and national data.
