Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aimed to analyze the outcomes of loco-regional treatment prior Living Donor Liver Transplantation in patients with HCC.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

50 patients received LDLT at Ain Shams Centre for Organ Transplantation (ASCOT) over 1 year of whom data of 29 HCC patients were analyzed. Twenty patients met the Milan criteria (68.97%) \& 4 (13.8%) were beyond Milan but met UCSF criteria and 5 were exceeding UCSF criteria (17.2%).All patients underwent preoperative LRTs, The protocol of bridging/down staging, methods, duration of follow up, the number of the patients who were successfully down-staged before LT and their outcomes after LT were recorded.

HCC patients

29 HCC patients who had loco regional therapies for HCC were analyzed. Twenty patients met the Milan criteria (68.97%) \& 4 (13.8%) were beyond Milan but met UCSF criteria and 5 were exceeding UCSF criteria (17.2%).All patients underwent preoperative LRTs, The protocol of bridging/down staging, methods, duration of follow up, the number of the patients who were successfully down-staged before LT and their outcomes after LT were recorded.

loco regional therapies for HCC

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

29 HCC patients received locoregonal therapy as a bridging therapy for those who were within milan and as downstaging for those were initially beyond milan. The main LRT types used for our patients were TACE and or RFA and microwave ablation
