Downstaging hepatocellular carcinoma: a systematic review and pooled analysis.
The researchers aimed to characterize rates of successful downstaging to within Milan criteria and post-liver transplantation recurrence and survival among patients who underwent downstaging. They concluded that the success rate of downstaging hepatocellular carcinoma to within Milan criteria exceeds 40 percent; however, posttransplant HCC recurrence rates are high at 16 percent.

The effect of graft type on mortality in liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma.
The researchers aimed to: (1) examine the risk of mortality in liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), (2) to establish if this risk is affected by partial graft use, and (3) to determine if this effect is mitigated by improved tumor-associated risk stratification. They found that the risk of mortality following LT does not differ by the type of graft used in recipients with favorable-risk HCC or those without HCC.
