Is there any reason why a family member or friend can not give a portion of there liver to a pt with a non resectable tumor? They tell me that my fathers ca is non-resectable, however, the primary tumor in the pancreas has not moved. The problem is in the liver where he has mult. tumors over bilateral lobes. Doesn't the liver regenerate? Why can we not remove the primary tumor and transplant the liver? I realize it would be a large procedure but, the alternative is we allow the disease to progress and he will die! What is the problem with exploring this idea?
