Recurrence after liver transplantation (LT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unsatisfactory. However, some patients with HCC recurrence after LT show good long-term survival results. The…2017 American Transplant Congress
Effects of the Gut-Liver Axis on Ischemia-Mediated Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence in the Mouse Liver.
Background: There is growing evidence that liver graft ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is a risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after liver transplantation, but the involved…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Glasgow Prognostic Score and Its Variants Predict Mortality in Living Donor but Not in Deceased Donor Liver Transplantation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Double-Center Validation Study.
The notion that inflammation parameters such as CRP and albumin might have an influence on outcome in malignant disease is gaining interest. Serum CRP- and…2017 American Transplant Congress

A New Strategy for Loco-Regional Therapy of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy as a Bridge to Liver Transplantation.
Background: Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) or radiofrequency ablation are often used as local Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) treatment while waiting for a liver transplant (LTx). However, it…2017 American Transplant Congress
Exception Scores for Patients on the Liver Waiting List.
Liver waitlist candidates are prioritized for allocation using model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) scores, and some patients receive higher MELD scores through exception. The…2017 American Transplant Congress
Recurrent HCC After Radiofrequency Ablation or Liver Resection Can Be Effectively Treated with Salvage Transplantation.
Background:Liver resection (LR) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) represent curative therapies for early stages of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). If tumour recurrence occurs, salvage liver transplant (SLT)…2017 American Transplant Congress
HCV Eradication with DAA Therapy Should Be Attempted Prior to Liver Transplantation and Does Not Impact HCC Recurrence.
