Detailed Description
Introduction:
HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA (HCC) is the second leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for HCC patients has emerged as a rewarding therapy for a cure and a successful alternative where a Deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) program is lacking. Therefore, trials for careful expansion to Milan criteria have been adopted.
Aim of the study:
To evaluate the impact of expanding criteria beyond Milan on tumor recurrence and patient survival that will help identify the best selection criteria for HCC transplanted patients
