HCC influence on patient survival after liver transplantation for HDV cirrhosis.

Background/aims: The effect of hepatocellular cancer (HCC) in patients transplanted for hepatitis B and D virus (HB/DV) cirrhosis is not well studied. Our aim was to study the long-term survival outcomes of patients who underwent liver transplantation for HB/DV cirrhosis with and without HCC.

Methodology: A total of 231 primary, adult, single- organ liver transplants were performed from 1990 to 2007.
