Defining Benchmarks in Liver Transplantation: A Multicenter Outcome Analysis Determining Best Achievable Results.

TL;DR: Despite excellent 1- year survival, morbidity in benchmark cases remains high with half of patients developing severe complications during 1-year follow-up, and benchmark cutoffs targeting morbidity parameters offer a valid tool to assess higher risk groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Novel Prognostic Index in Patients With Hepatocellular Cancer Waiting for Liver Transplantation: Time-Radiological-response-Alpha-fetoprotein-INflammation (TRAIN) Score.

TL;DR: A novel and easy prognostic score based on the combination of pre-operatively available variables in patients with hepatocellular cancer waiting for liver transplantation (LT) has been developed from a long waiting time (WT) training set and validated in a short-WT set.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatocellular cancer and recurrence after liver transplantation: what about the impact of immunosuppression?

TL;DR: This chapter aims to give a comprehensive overview of the actual literature related to the impact of different immunosuppressive drugs and schemes on outcome of LT in HCC recipients, and the strategy of curtailing and minimising IS should be explored in the growing field of transplant oncology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Des-Gamma-Carboxy Prothrombin in Hepatocellular Cancer Patients Waiting for Liver Transplant: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis:

TL;DR: The meta-analysis enabled us to underline the importance of DCP in the refinement of the eligibility criteria of HCC patients for LT, indicating a 5-fold increased risk for HCC recurrence after LT.
