Abstract:
Liver transplantation (LT) is the standard-of-care for early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Current selection criteria depend primarily on measures of tumor burden and alpha-fetoprotein levels. Evolving strategies include the application of prognostic scores and the development of specialized molecular markers to predict recurrence. New technologies such as machine perfusion of donor organs are expected to dramatically improve the availability and access to LT in HCC.
