Liver transplant results for hepatocellular carcinoma applying strict preoperative selection criteria.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:Liver transplantation is currently the best therapeutic option for small hepatocellular carcinoma (HC) in selected cirrhotic patients. The main aim of this study was to analyze the results of a recent series of liver transplant cirrhotic patients with small HC applying strict preoperative selection criteria. PATIENTS AND METHODS:During a period of 6 years we performed 53 liver transplants with a final diagnosis of HC on cirrhosis. The selection criteria for liver transplantation (LT) by modern imaging techniques were the Milan criteria (TNM I and II of the modified classification). RESULTS:Of the 53 patients, 44 (83%) were transplanted with preoperatively known HC, and 9 (17%) with incidental HC. The mean time on the waiting list was 74 +/- 62 days. Despite using strict selection criteria, 23 patients (43%) exceeded the Milan criteria in the specimen and 17 (32%) even exceeded the extended criteria of the UCSF. With a mean follow-up of 2 years, only two patients have developed recurrences. The overall survival at 1, 3, and 5 years was 80%, 70%, and 70%, respectively. The survival of patients that exceeded the Milan or USF criteria at 1, 3, and 5 years was 72% and 76%; 67% and 69%; 67% and 69%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The results of liver transplantation for HC are excellent when applying strict preoperative selection criteria. The current imaging methods lead to a considerable infrastaging percentage (30% to 40%), extending the indications for liver transplant due to HC beyond the scope that clinical reports would justify.
