Long-term outcomes of deceased donor liver transplantation in hepatocellular carcinoma patients with portal vein tumor thrombus: A multicenter study

Jiongjie Yu et al.

Summary: Deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) may be a viable treatment option for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with type 1 or 2 portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT). Preoperative alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels should be considered in selecting PVTT patients for DDLT to achieve better treatment outcomes.

Friedrich Foerster et al.

Summary: HCC is one of the most common and deadliest cancers globally. Immuno-oncology has shown promising results in the treatment of HCC, with immune checkpoint inhibition becoming the first-line therapy for advanced cases. However, challenges remain in determining the role of immunotherapy in earlier stages of HCC and identifying treatment strategies for non-responsive patients.

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Use in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients: A Systematic Review

Andrew J. Portuguese et al.

Summary: The use of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) with cancer can lead to objective responses, but also carries risks of rejection and immune-related adverse events. Treatment decisions in this population require careful consideration of benefits and risks, and close coordination between medical oncologists and transplant specialists to optimize outcomes.

Summary: This meta-analysis suggests that SBRT plus TACE is superior to monotherapy in treating HCC with PVTT, as it improves survival rates and treatment response without significant increase in adverse events.

Is liquid biopsy the future commutator of decision-making in liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma?

Stephanie Gonvers et al.

Summary: Liquid biopsy has shown great potential in improving selection criteria for liver transplant in hepatocellular carcinoma. Despite limited studies, existing research highlights the significant prognostic value of liquid biopsy in this specific clinical scenario, emphasizing the urgent need for further research and integration into decision-making.

Hepatocellular carcinoma

Arndt Vogel et al.

Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma is a common cancer worldwide, with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease becoming a dominant cause. Treatment options are varied, including surgery, radiation, and medication. With the approval of new drugs and the development of immunotherapy, the outlook for hepatocellular carcinoma patients has improved, but the optimal sequencing of drugs and predictive biomarkers still need further research.

Clinical analysis of deceased donor liver transplantation in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma with segmental portal vein tumor thrombus: A long-term real-world study

Meng Sha et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with segmental portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT). The study found significant differences in recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) among HCC patients with different PVTT types during follow-up. For patients with segmental PVTT, DDLT may be a viable treatment option when the AFP level is <=100 ng/ml.

Hepatocellular cancer selection systems and liver transplantation: from the tower of babel to an ideal comprehensive score

Jan Lerut et al.

Summary: A systematic review of literature from 1993-2021 identified 59 different inclusion criteria for HCC patients undergoing liver transplantation, with new selection systems increasing transplantability by 31% without compromising patient outcomes. The development of an accepted comprehensive HCC-LT Score should be a priority to offer more patients a fair chance of justified transplantation. Further research is needed to establish internationally accepted expanded selection criteria for HCC patients seeking liver transplantation.

Transarterial chemoembolization plus lenvatinib versus transarterial chemoembolization plus sorafenib as first-line treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombus: A prospective randomized study

Xiaoyan Ding et al.

Summary: The study found that TACE plus lenvatinib was associated with longer time-to-progression and higher objective response rate compared to TACE plus sorafenib in patients with advanced HCC with PVTT and large tumor burden. The combination therapy was also safe and well tolerated.

Matteo Serenari et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of TARE in downstaging HCC patients with PVTT to meet criteria for DDLT. 5 out of 17 patients were able to undergo DDLT after TARE and showed significantly higher 5-year overall survival compared to those who were not transplanted. Careful selection for DDLT is advised despite the clear survival gain in patients who received DDLT after TARE.
