Comparing different risk factors associated with delisting of hepatocellular carcinoma patients candidates for liver transplantation
Engy Ezzat Eid Iskandar;
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer worldwide, with more than 1 million new cases diagnosed every year. Liver transplantation (LT) has been used as a curative treatment for patients with HCC. In countries where the liver allograft allocation is based on the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) system, patients with HCC within the Milan criteria (MC) receive exception points, preventing dropout from the list.
Objective: The aim of this study is to analyse the different risk factors leading to delisting in liver transplant patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
