Criteria to select patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) for liver transplantation (LT) are based on tumor size and number of nodules rather than on tumor biology. The present study was undertaken to assess the role of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in selecting patients with tumors s
patients who met the following criteria-hepatic tumor unresectable because of location or inadequate liver reserve, no metastases, HBsAg negative, no tumor larger than 5 cm in diameter, and no more than three tumors-were enrolled prospectively in a protocol employing preoperative chemoembolization t
Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) can be a definitive treatment for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Prolonged waiting times for cadaveric livers, however, may lead to dropout from the waiting list or worsened post-OLT prognosis as a result of interval tumor progression. Percutaneo
