Predictive Index for Tumor Recurrence after Liver Transplantation for Locally Advanced Intrahepatic and Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma

Abstract

This model was highly predictive of long-term outcomes after OLT for locally advanced intrahepatic and hilar CCA and can be applied clinically for risk stratification of patients considered for OLT. Long-term disease recurrence-free survival was excellent in low-risk and acceptable in intermediate-risk groups, justifying the expansion of liver transplant criteria for treatment of this challenging malignancy.
