Abstract

Liver transplantation (LT) is the treatment of choice for early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with end-stage liver disease but is limited by the availability of donor organs. Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) represents an alternative therapeutic option for patients with disease confined to the liver. Between April 1998 and December 2003, 537 patients underwent liver transplantation in our center. Thirty patients with HCC and associated terminal cirrhosis and 4 patients with tumor recurrence after liver resection who underwent LDLT were reviewed. Nineteen patients (55.8%) met the Milan criteria for LT, whereas 15 patients (44.2%) "exceeded" them. The overall survival rates at 1 and 2 years were 68% and 62%, respectively, with a median follow-up of 41 months (range, 17-64 months). Five patients (14.7%) died in the first 30 days after LDLT. Hospital mortality was significantly correlated with age > 60 years. Four patients developed recurrence between 6 and 35 months after LDLT. Recurrence was significantly related to the presence of more than 3 tumor lesions in our series. In conclusion, LDLT is a promising treatment option for patients with HCC. Even longer follow-up and bigger patients' series are needed to...Continue Reading
