Key Words	C-reactive protein; Hepatocellular carcinoma; Liver transplantation; Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio; Selection criteria
Core Tip	Although the Milan criteria are accepted as the standard selection criteria for liver transplantation candidates with hepatocelluar carcinoma (HCC), they are so strict; New selection criteria are needed to predict more accurately the prognosis of patients with HCC; Using a new score model using pretransplant neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and C-reactive protein (CRP), we can differentiate HCC patients beyond the Milan criteria with a good prognosis from those with a poor prognosis; Combined with the Milan criteria, a new score model using pretransplant NLR and CRP may represent new selection criteria for living-donor liver transplantation candidates with HCC, especially beyond the Milan criteria.
