Risk factors for tumor recurrence after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma and related control strategies / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Tumor recurrence after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma is the main cause of significant reductions in the survival rates of patients and grafts. Risk factors for tumor recurrence after liver transplantation include pathological and biological features, factors associated with the recipient, factors associated with the donor and donor liver, and surgery-related factors. Immunosuppression regimen and various adjuvant therapies may help to prevent tumor recurrence. For patients undergoing liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma, further studies are needed to investigate early identification of risk factors for tumor recurrence and related comprehensive prevention and treatment measures.
