On February 7, 2019, a one-day Consensus Conference of the International Liver Transplantation Society was held to discuss oncology issues. Representatives of world's leading clinics gathered in Rotterdam (Netherlands). The presentations made on that day covered the following topics: hepatocellular cancer, bile duct cancer, immunotherapy and its place in the treatment of liver tumors, the possibility of liver transplantation in patients with metastatic liver disease, world trends in pediatric oncohepatology. A separate session in the working groups was allocated to discuss the most actual topics. The Conference identified the main global trends and the most crucial issues in the field of liver transplantation in patients with oncological diagnosis. It is likely that these presentations will “set the tone” for the large Transplantationt Congress in Toronto in May 2019.
