There is growing interest in extending Milan selection criteria for liver transplantation for HCC. We evaluated the impact of different selection criteria, tumour diameter, and number on overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and recurrence after liver transplantation. Liver transplantation beyond Milan criteria resulted in decreased OS, DFS, and increased recurrence, similar to transplantation beyond UCSF criteria. Transplantation with summated tumour diameters >10cm or >9cm showed decreased OS, and DFS respectively. The diameter of the largest tumour when >5cm (vs. 5cm) resulted...

Liver transplantations require a complex and varied, multidisciplinary approach involving not only hepatologists and surgeons but also pathologists, psychologists, professional educators, nurses and, in the case of young patients, also pediatricians and development experts. This textbook provides an overview of the management problems involved in liver transplantation for acute and chronic liver disease, pediatric liver transplantation and the psychosocial aspects of liver transplantation. A closing chapter, focusing on the developments and future prospects in liver transplantation, outlines...
