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
Pre-TACE Immune Status Correlates with Treatment Response and Tumor Biology in HCC as a Bridge to Transplant.
Purpose:Immune factors are pivotal against disease progression after transplant in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). With chemoembolization (TACE) as a bridge to liver transplant, this study compares…2017 American Transplant Congress
Serum AFP Greater Than 200 ng/ml as a Predictor for Low Survival in Patients with Hepatocelullar Carcinoma Recurrence in a Brazilian Multicentric Study.
Introduction: Liver transplantation (LT) is the only potential curative treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with recurrence (HCC-R) diagnosed in 16%. Aim: The objective of this…2017 American Transplant Congress
Very Long Term Graft Survival. Forecasts Factors.
Nephrology, Hospital Ramon y Cajal, Madrid, Spain
