Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the prognostic significance of the tumor DNA index in patients receiving liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhosis.
Background: In patients suffering from HCC in cirrhosis, the current selection for liver transplantation does not optimally achieve the goal to simultaneously maximize the number of viable transplant candidates and reject the smallest number of those who could have benefited. This is the first report on the prognostic significance of the tumor DNA index.
