The team of Liu et al. generated endoderm-derived human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from primary hepatocytes. 1 However, they generated human iPS cells by using viral transgenes. 1 Clinical applications of human iPS cells require avoiding viral transgenes. On the other hand, the reprogrammi
Background: Liver transplantation for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma yields disappointing results. Most cases recur within 2 years, often in the transplanted liver. Methods: A combination of neoadjuvant doxorubicin and orthotopic liver transplantation was used in 20 patients with unresectable
Liver transplantation for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) continues to be a subject of debate mostly due to a uniformly high failure rate secondary to recurrence. However, accumulating experiences have enabled detailed analysis of the prognostic factors affecting patient outcome. Clinicopath
