Response to transarterial chemoembolization may serve as selection criteria for hepatocellular carcinoma liver transplantation
Aims This study sought to extend the inclusion criteria for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) liver transplantation (LT), particularly addressing the safety and effectiveness of pre-LT transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). Materials and Methods Our study included 115 patients with HCC who underwent LT after TACE. The response measured after each TACE session was based on the mRECIST criteria: ...
متن کاملResponse to transarterial chemoembolization as a biological selection criterion for liver transplantation in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Criteria to select patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) for liver transplantation (LT) are based on tumor size and number of nodules rather than on tumor biology. The present study was undertaken to assess the role of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in selecting patients with tumors suitable for LT. Ninety-six consecutive patients with HCC were treated by repeatedly performed TAC...
متن کاملSalvage Liver Transplantation for Recurrent Hepatocellular Carcinoma within UCSF Criteria after Liver Resection
BACKGROUND Salvage liver transplantation (SLT) is restricted to patients who develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence within Milan criteria (MC). Little is known about outcomes for SLT in patients with recurrent HCC within University of California San Francisco (UCSF) criteria after liver resection (LR). METHODS Between January 2001 and December 2011, 380 patients with HCC meeting UC...
متن کاملLiver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma in patients beyond the Milan but within the UCSF criteria.
AIM Liver transplantation (LT) is the best therapy for early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhosis. Whereas the Milan criteria are routinely applied, the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) criteria are occasionally considered in large-volume transplant centers. Poor information is available about the real "gain" in patients' outcome when extending the listing criteria from Mila...
متن کاملTranscatheter Arterial Chemoembolization of Hepatocellular Carcinoma as a Bridge to Liver Transplantation: A Retrospective Study
Background. Transcatheter arterial lipiodol chemoembolization (TACE) can be used in cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma to avoid tumor progression before transplantation. Objective. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of TACE used as a bridge to liver transplantation. Methods. TACE was performed in 30 cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Milan criteria were used to sel...
