ABSTRACT
Liver transplantation for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) within the Milan criteria generally yields a 4-year overall survival rate of 75% and 4-year recurrence free survival rate of 83%. But, many HCC patients present with the disease beyond the Milan criteria. On the other hands, the overall survival of patients with advanced HCC with portal vein invasion is very poor. We report a case of successful living donor liver transplantation for advanced HCC with portal vein invasion by down-staging through radioembolization, hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy, and stereotactic body radiation therapy.
