Liver Transplant

A liver transplant can restore your health and save your life if your liver fails. UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester offers Massachusetts's most comprehensive organ transplant program.

During a liver transplant, our specialized surgeons remove your sick or injured liver and replace it with a healthy liver from a deceased organ donor. In some cases, we can transplant part of a liver from a healthy living donor. 

Liver Tumor Center

Patients with liver cancer find compassionate and comprehensive care through the Liver Tumor Center at UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester. Our liver surgeons collaborate with the Cancer Center to provide surgical treatment and symptom management through liver transplantation or liver resection (removing part of the liver).
