A new study provides the strongest evidence to date in support of US guidelines for determining which people with liver cancer are eligible for a liver transplant, the study's investigators said. (cancer.gov)

In the study, 52% of people with HCC whose tumors shrank enough after treatment to meet the Milan criteria for a liver transplant were still alive 10 years after receiving a donated liver . (cancer.gov)
By comparison, people with HCC whose disease met the Milan criteria at the time of their diagnosis fared somewhat better: about 61% were still alive 10 years after liver transplant, the team reported July 20 in JAMA Surgery . (cancer.gov)

We've always been nervous about the risk of the tumor coming back after transplant in these [downstaged] patients," said Dr. Kulik, a liver disease specialist who helps evaluate and manage patients before and after a transplant. (cancer.gov)
Other candidates for a liver transplant include people with serious liver diseases other than cancer, such as hepatitis B and C. Unfortunately, people who qualify for a liver transplant are competing for a limited supply of donor organs, Dr. Greten said. (cancer.gov)
For more than two decades, decisions about which HCC patients are eligible for a liver transplant have been based on a small 1996 study in Italy. (cancer.gov)

(cancer.gov)
The 1996 study, conducted at a single hospital in Milan, opened the door to liver transplants for people with HCC that is confined to the liver and "had a profound impact on the survival of liver cancer patients," Dr. Tabrizian said. (cancer.gov)
