Core Tip |
The management of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after liver transplantation (LT) seems to be a losing battle. Nonetheless, tremendous efforts have been made to combat this deadly disease. Intrahepatic recurrence may be treated by resection, which has some survival benefits as shown by small clinical trials. Other kinds of therapy including high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) are also in use. HIFU ablation has been shown to produce better results when compared with RFA and TACE. The efficacy of systemic and targeted therapies for multiple recurrences is under investigation. Early results have suggested that the combination of sorafenib with mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors may be useful for treating recurrent HCC after LT.
