Background Preoperative α-fetoprotein (AFP) levels may have an influence on disease-free
survival (DFS) of patients after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) …

AIM To investigate the impact of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) on long-term recurrence rate and
overall survival and we also aimed to define the level of AFP leading to a higher risk of …

Hypothesis An elevated serum α-fetoprotein (AFP) level before orthotopic liver transplant
(OLT) is predictive of mortality after OLT for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Design …

Background Many patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who undergo liver
transplantation (LT) subsequently develop tumor recurrence; this is the main factor affecting …

Serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) value is still not included in the consensus guidelines to
make decisions referring to liver transplantation (LT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) …

We aimed to determine whether combining serum alpha‐fetoprotein (AFP) level with
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumor burden would allow better stratification of …

Liver transplantation (LT) for cirrhotic/Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with
reduced survival in patients with poor histological features. Preoperative levels of …

Background Liver transplantation (LT) offers a possible cure for carefully selected patients
with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Studies report that preoperative alpha‐fetoprotein …
