Impact of Brazilian expanded criteria for liver transplantation in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: a multicenter study.

CONCLUSIONS: In a large Brazilian cohort of HCC patients submitted to liver transplantation, we observed satisfactory overall survival and recurrence rates. However, patients transplanted within the Brazilian expanded criteria had lower OS and DFS when compared to patients within MC, which may generate future discussions regarding the criteria currently used.
