Hepatic transplantation outcomes for carefully selected cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: experience at a small- to medium-volume centre

Abstract

Hepatic transplantation for HCC at a small-to medium-volume transplant centre had comparable survival outcomes to high-volume centres.

Which matters most: Number of tumors, size of the largest tumor, or total tumor volume?

“…10,26,29,31,39,40,43,[47][48][49][50][51][52] The HR for ovreall survival was reduced by 1.79 (95% CI ¼ 1-3.21) in patients outside the UCSF criteria versus patients within the UCSF criteria. The HR for diseasefree survival was reduced by 3.41 (95% CI ¼ 1.21- 9.60) in patients outside the UCSF criteria versus patients within the UCSF criteria.…”
