Malatya and Other Criteria for Liver Transplantation in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

ConclusionIt is clear that morphological criteria consisting only of tumor size and number are insufficient in patient selection for liver transplantation and should thus be combined with biological, inflammatory, radiological, pathological and genetic markers that predict the biological behavior of the tumor. Efforts to find the best criteria are still ongoing and 5-year overall survival should be greater than 60%.
