| Core Tip |
Hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombus has long been considered a contraindication for liver transplantation due to poor prognosis. However, evolving downstaging strategies, including transarterial chemoembolization, transarterial radioembolization, proton beam therapy, and combination immunotherapies, have shown potential to convert select patients into transplant candidates. This review summarizes current clinical evidence and highlights future directions involving personalized medicine, novel biomaterials, and standardized criteria. |
