| Core Tip |
We have shown good survival from a medium volume transplant centre in a small cohort of patients exceeding Milan criteria. We show an association between a pre-operative alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) > 100 and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence, independent of tumour size. Our study supports other single centre experience on survival after transplant for HCC with low AFP and indicates that AFP needs to be interrogated in large, multi-centre studies to see if it can be included in transplant listing criteria to augment the current radiology based dimensional criteria.
