Core Tip	Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is the main biomarker available for the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Yet, its contribution in liver transplantation for HCC has not been fully determined. We discuss the interest of AFP as a prognostic factor to predict tumor recurrence after liver transplantation, and as a selection tool to assess the best candidates to receive a graft. We also provide an overview of the different ways that AFP could be included in decisional algorithms before liver transplantation, through its static and dynamic values.
