- Abstract
The article discusses the major risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after liver transplantation. An increase of incidence of HCC, primarily owes to a rising incidence of viral hepatitis. A risk factors for recurrence after transplantation relate either to tumor stage or to biological behavior. The pattern of recurrence of HCC is similar to that after resection, occurring predominantly in the liver, lung and bone.
