Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how various tumor characteristics influence the prognosis of liver transplantation in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
- A retrospective analysis of 251 patients revealed that factors like macroscopic vascular invasion, microscopic tumor thrombosis, and satellite nodules significantly impact survival outcomes, while pre-operative treatments did not affect prognosis.
- The findings suggest that higher Edmondson grades, significant tumor factors, and AFP levels above 300 µg/L indicate poorer survival chances, advising against liver transplantation in patients with vascular invasion or lymph node spread.
