My current doctor warned that you would still need chemo prior to a transplant. And a transplant is risky, because you may not be able to attack with chemo in the event of a recurrence, you need to give the liver ample time to heal.
In other words, an option, but probably not something to pursue immediately as opposed to HAI which you would do earlier in the process.
Also Cartech told me that Kemeny was willing to oversee chemo administration at Northwestern; guessing she would do the same with OSU.
