    Objective: Hepatocellular cancer (HCC) is the most common malignancy of the hepatobiliary system. There are significant differences in the global spread of HCC. It is the major cause of death in patients with cirrhosis. Its molecular pathogenesis is highly complex and heterogeneous. Major risk factors for the development of HCC are chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and alcohol related liver cirrhosis. Hepatocellular cancer is rarely seen in the first 4 decades of life, except in communities where HBV infection is hyperendemic.Methods: The study was conducted by retrospectively scanning the files of 204 patients diagnosed with HCC who applied to Organ Transplantation Center between 21.09.2014 and 13.04.2019. Patients were transplanted liver by being classified according to Milan criteria, San Francisco [University of California San Francisco (UCSF)] criteria, and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) criteria.Results: The median age of the patients was 58.03 (range 31 to 72). 170 of the patients were men and 34 of them were female. Liver transplantation (LT) was performed from cadaveric donors to 31 patients and from living donors to 173 patients. There is a significant relationship between the life span of the patients and their gender. Female patients have a longer life expectancy [t (202) = 2.963, p =0.003]. A significant relationship was found between life expectancy and surgical classification [F (3) = 3.008, (p =0.031)].Conclusions: In patients diagnosed with HCC and undergoing LT; the gender being female and the classification method before transplantation affect life expectancy.
