Abstract:
Liver transplantation has become one of the most important treatments for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC）. In China， most of the HCC patients are in the intermediate and advanced stage when they are diagnosed， and the chance of cure after surgical resection is low. Individualized comprehensive treatments are needed to improve the curative effect. Liver transplantation is one of the important strategies of comprehensive therapies. For advanced HCC， how to reduce recurrence and metastasis after liver transplantation is of great clinical significance. Individualized comprehensive treatment should be given before， during and after liver transplantation. For recurrent HCC after liver transplantation， clinical studies with immunocheckpoint inhibitors are an important research direction in the future.
