In deceased donor LT (DDLT) setting, expansion of the criteria is relatively tempered because the results of LT for HCC should be comparable to those of patients with non-malignant indication… Show more

“…Consistent with other studies, pre-transplant MVI, AFP and PIVKA-II levels, were significantly and independently correlated with HCC recurrence 28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36. Pre-operative needle core biopsy provides exact histological information on tumors, but this procedure is not recommended due to the risk of tumor seeding.…”
