| Background Japan criteria (Milan and 5-5-500 criteria) was introduced for liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Method 250 liver transplantations for HCC between 1999 and 2121 were retrospectively reviewed. The indication of liver transplantation for HCC in our institution before 2006 included no limitation regarding tumor number and size, and after 2007 we introduced Kyoto criteria. Post operative survival rates and recurrence-free survival rates classified by Milan criteria, Japan criteria and Kyoto criteria were analyzed. HCC recurrence patterns and treatments for HCC recurrence were reviewed. Results Postoperative survival outcomes within each criterion were good, while postoperative recurrence-free survival rates of the patients without all criteria was significantly low. Patients downstaged with pre-transplant treatment had feasible outcomes. The risk factors for HCC recurrence after transplantation were Kyoto criteria and poorly differentiated HCC. Several patients with HCC recurrence had long-term survival with repeat resections and other treatments. Conclusion Japan criteria and Kyoto criteria were feasible with relevant patient outcomes and increased patient numbers. Treatment for HCC recurrence after liver transplantation is the key for long-term survival. |
