Abstract:
Objective To evaluate liver transplantation for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods From Feb,1999 to Mar,2002 a total of 95 cases underwent liver transplantation(LTX) in our centre, among them there were 23 cases of HCC.SPSS 10 0 software was used to evaluate the risk factors on the tumor recurrence after LTX.Results The tumor recurrence rate was 65% during the period of follow up. The patients' tumor free survival rate at 6 and 12 months was 75 0% and 58 3%, respectively. Multi variants analysis revealed that there was a statistical relationship between pretransplant tumor size and tumor recurrence( P =0 024).Statistical relations between preoperative demograplaic, clinical features and post LTX recurrence were not found.Conclusion Large hepatocellular carcinoma is a relative contraindication for LTX.
