Abstract:
With the increasing maturity of liver transplantation technology and the improvement of postoperative management, liver transplantation has become one of the important means for treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the postoperative recurrence is the main reason for treatment failure. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to accurately predict the risk of postoperative recurrence in patients undergoing liver transplantation for HCC. PET/CT can reflect cellular metabolism and function changes in target organ at the molecular level. The tumor metabolic burden parameters of PET/CT have been included in the post-transplant evaluation system for liver transplantation and have good prognostic value. This article provides a review of prediction of HCC recurrence after liver transplantation using PET/CT.
