Recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation.
Outcome after liver transplantation (OLT) clearly depends on recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). After recurrence, patient outcome will depend on the time and site of appearance. The aim of this study was to analyze the therapeutic implications of tumor recurrence behavior. From October 1988 to December 2005, 685 patients received OLT, including 202 due to HCC (32%). We analyzed 28 re...
متن کاملPrediction of tumor recurrence by 18F-FDG PET in liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma.
UNLABELLED Although several prognostic factors are used to predict recurrence and to select adequate candidates for liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), these prognostic factors have some clinical limitations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate (18)F-FDG PET as a prognostic factor and to optimize its ability to predict tumor recurrence in liver transplantation for HC...
متن کاملNeedle tract recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation.
Background—Percutaneous ultrasound guided needle aspiration biopsy is an eYcient procedure for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, this procedure may be responsible for metastatic seeding in the needle tract. We present a case of metastatic subcutaneous seeding after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for cirrhosis complicated by HCC. Case report—A 29 year old man with...
متن کاملLiver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Liver transplantation has become the best option in patients with decompensated cirrhosis and a small hepatocellular carcinoma. Indeed, because of the severity of cirrhosis, resection is usually impossible and in addition, transplantation provides survival rates close to those obtained in cirrhotic patients without malignancy (70 to 80% 3-year survival rate). In patients with a small hepatocell...
متن کاملLiver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma.
In patients with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) offers hope for cure of both the complicating HCC and the underlying chronic liver disease. Excellent 5 year survival has been reported when the restrictive Milan criteria are used to select transplant candidates. Alternative recommendations have recently been proposed by groups at University o...
