Patients must have liver tumors requiring a major liver resection, defined as removing at least three anatomical segments in patients without liver disease and two segments in patients with cirrhosis/fibrosis of the liver
Clinical indication for a therapeutic liver resection
No liver failure
Documented liver disease with marked elevation of transaminases >3 x ULN or,
Total bilirubin < 2.0 mg/dl; unless hepatic dysfunction is a manifestation of presumed cGVHD; for patients with abnormal liver function tests (LFTs) as the sole manifestation of active cGVHD, documented cGVHD on liver biopsy will be required prior to enrollment; abnormal LFTs in the context of active cGVHD involving other organ systems may also be permitted if the treating physician documents the abnormal LFTs as being consistent with active hepatic cGVHD, and a liver biopsy will not be mandated in this situation
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) < 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), unless hepatic dysfunction is a manifestation of presumed cGVHD; for patients with abnormal LFTs as the sole manifestation of active cGVHD, documented cGVHD on liver biopsy will be required prior to enrollment; abnormal LFTs in the context of active cGVHD involving other organ systems may also be permitted if the treating physician documents the abnormal LFTs as being consistent with active hepatic cGVHD, and a liver biopsy will not be mandated in this situation
For participants with abnormal liver function tests (LFTs) as the sole manifestation of cGVHD, documented GVHD on liver biopsy will be required prior to enrollment; abnormal LFTs in the context of active cGVHD involving other organ systems may also be permitted if the treating physician documents the abnormal LFTs as being consistent with hepatic cGVHD, and a liver biopsy will not be mandated in this situation
No significant synthetic dysfunction of the liver; if there is a question of such, a liver biopsy should be performed for further assessment
Diffuse intrahepatic metastases that involves > 10 % of the liver
For patients with abnormal liver function tests (LFTs) above the thresholds, documented cGVHD on liver biopsy will be required prior to enrollment
The patient’s planned cancer management is radiation to the liver with or without chemotherapy
Able to undergo:\r\n* Percutaneous or transjugular biopsy of cirrhotic liver at least 7 days prior to liver resection (surgical cohort), OR\r\n* A biopsy of the cirrhotic liver (non-surgical cohort)
Willingness to authorize collection of tissue from surgically-resected liver or clinical liver biopsy for analyses
Women with active liver disease, abnormal uterine bleeding, or prior diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia
Laboratory evaluations (kidney and liver) outside normal limits and of potential clinical significance in the opinion of the investigator
Patients with end stage liver disease or anticipated liver transplant within the next two years will be excluded; a history of liver transplant is not an exclusion per se, if patient does not meet stated hepatic criteria
Patient must NOT be in liver failure as judged by the patient’s physician
Have known cirrhosis or other risk factors for HCC, based on American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) and European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) guidelines (applicable in each site jurisdictions)

Patients with liver failure are NOT eligible.
Patients with primary stage I, II, III liver cancer or metastatic tumor in the liver from any cancer site
Diagnosis of a non-HCC liver mass with one or more of the following:\r\n* Liver mass (>= 1 cm) that has suggestive imaging findings of a benign liver mass (adenoma, hemangioma, focal nodular hyperplasia)\r\n* Liver mass (>= 1 cm) that is biopsy proven metastatic disease (metastatic colorectal cancer, metastatic pancreatic cancer)\r\n* Liver mass (>= 1 cm) that is a non-HCC primary malignancy (cholangiocarcinoma)
Patients with confined liver disease or stable limited extrahepatic disease
Liver function tests (LFTS) =< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
Patients must have liver-dominant or liver-only metastatic disease from any primary histology; patients with primary hepatocellular or biliary cancer are also eligible
Must have been listed on the regional OPTN/UNOS liver transplant wait list with HCC-exception Model for End Stage Liver Disease (MELD) points prior to enrollment in this trial OR \r\n* Site principal investigator (PI) or designated site co-investigator determines whether patient is likely to meet all criteria for being listed on the regional OPTN/UNOS liver transplant waitlist with HCC-exception MELD points, but has not yet been listed with UNOS UNet\r\n* Investigator has completed and signed the Declaration of Intent to List source document declaring that the patient will likely meet all wait list criteria\r\n* Participants listed with the intent to undergo either deceased donor transplant or live donor adult liver transplantation (LDALT) are eligible for this trial
