Objective:
To evaluate the effect of liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma and to explore the suitable indication for liver transplantation for advanced primary hepatocellular carcinoma.
Method:
Clinical data were collected and studied with 43 patients with cirrhosis who had unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma and who underwent liver transplantation from August, 2000 to December, 2003. All the survived patients were followed up.
Results:
The longest following period was 45 months. 18 patients died by the end of the April, 2004. The 1-year survival rate was 85.5%, the 2-year survival rate 65.5%, the 3-year survival rate was 43.0%.
Conclusion:
In our country, some advanced primary hepatocellular carcinoma without extrahepatic metastasis is still indicated for liver transplantation. Some patients could have the opportunity to survive relatively long time.
