Brain Metastases After Liver Transplantation in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma: The Choice of Therapy

Abstract

Clinical cases of brain metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after orthotopical liver transplantation (OLT) are presented. Predictors of brain metastases from HCC after OLT, the choice of post-transplantation therapy, brain CT after OLT for early metastatic detection are discussed. Increased overall survival rate due to the effective local approach (surgery and/or x-ray therapy) is also reported.
