Prevention and treatment strategies of postoperative tumor recurrence after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma / 中华消化外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Liver transplantation is the most effective treatment for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),however,postoperative tumor recurrence severely hampers its efficacy.With the development of precision medicine and liquid biopsy,the diagnosis and treatment of patients undergoing liver transplantation for liver cancer might be updated.On the basis of "safety,effectiveness and precision",investigating the novel recurrence-related prognostic factors,improving the current indications of liver transplantation for patients with HCC,selecting optimal local regional treatments preoperatively and providing effective interventions for recurrent liver cancer after liver transplantation,may improve the long-term survival and therapeutic results of liver transplantation in patients with HCC.
