| Core Tip |
Patients suffering from hepatocarcinoma are selected for liver transplantation (LT) according to the Milan criteria that were established two decades ago. The aggressiveness of the tumor has also a particular importance, but there is still no ideal way of predicting the risk of recurrence according to pretransplant tumor metabolism. This study confirms that FDG positron emission tomography computed tomography with a tumor/liver activity ratios (RSUVmax) cut-off value of 1.15 is a strong prognostic factor for recurrence and death in patients with hepatocellular cancer (HCC) treated by LT. In addition, in this series, none of the patients outside the MILAN criteria with RSUVmax < 1.15 suffered from recurrence in the follow-up. Further prospective studies should test whether this metabolic index should be systematically included in the pretransplant assessment of HCC patients. |
