Abstract:
Post-transplant tumor recurrence and metastasis remain the main obstacles for long-term survival after liver transplantation (LT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Measures to explore the HCC biological characteristics and the relationship between post-transplant immuno-suppression and tumor recurrence, to determine precisely the prognostic factors associated with post-transplant recurrence, to intervene effectively for those with high risk of recurrence, and to use individualized multimodality treatment for recurrence and metastasis may improve the therapeutic results of LT for HCC.
