Efficacy and safety of lenvatinib in patients with recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation

Kyunghye Bang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib in patients with post-liver transplantation (LT) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence. The results showed consistent efficacy and toxicity profiles of lenvatinib in these patients, comparable to previous studies on non-LT HCC patients. In addition, the baseline ALBI grade was associated with improved overall survival in post-LT lenvatinib-treated patients.

Development of a deep pathomics score for predicting hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence after liver transplantation

Wei-Feng Qu et al.

Summary: This study developed a deep pathomics score (DPS) using deep learning to predict tumor recurrence after liver transplantation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Immune cells were found to be the most significant histological structure related to post-LT recurrence. DPS performed well in recurrence prediction and identification of clinicopathological features.

Summary: The individual prediction of post-liver transplantation hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence risk is important. By analyzing the data of 4981 HCC patients undergoing transplantation, a prediction score was developed to accurately discriminate the risk of HCC recurrence. The score was externally validated in another 1160 patients, showing consistent results in risk discrimination.

The Role of mTOR Inhibitors after Liver Transplantation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Letizia Todeschini et al.

Summary: Liver transplantation is an effective treatment option for nonresectable patients with early-stage HCC, especially when they meet the Milan criteria. However, the use of CNIs for immunosuppression increases the risk of tumor regrowth. mTOR inhibitors have emerged as an alternative immunosuppressive approach that can address both immunosuppression and cancer control. This review summarizes the roles of mTOR inhibitors in managing HCC patients undergoing LT and proposes strategies to overcome common adverse effects.

When immunotherapy meets liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma: A bumpy but promising road

Yufeng Gu et al.

Summary: Liver transplantation is an effective therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma, but the shortage of donor livers and the rapid progression of cancer often lead to patients being dropped from the waitlist. Immunotherapy has shown promise in advanced HCC treatment, but its use in transplantation is limited due to the increased risk of graft rejection.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence and Mortality Rate Post Liver Transplantation: Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review of Real-World Evidence

Khalid Bzeizi et al.

Summary: This systematic and meta-analysis study examined the recurrence rate and risk factors of hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation. The study found that the recurrence, overall survival, and mortality rates among HCC patients post-transplantation remain relatively high, with significant regional differences.

Endothelial angiopoietin-2 overexpression in explanted livers identifies subjects at higher risk of recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation

Simone Lasagni et al.

Summary: By analyzing the clinical, histopathological, and biological characteristics of patients undergoing liver transplantation, this study identified the expression of endothelial angiopoietin-2 as a powerful independent predictor of post-transplant tumor recurrence and mortality. This marker could assist in more accurate assessment and prioritization of patients before liver transplantation.

R3-AFP score is a new composite tool to refine prediction of hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence after liver transplantation

Charlotte Costentin et al.

Summary: Reassessing the risk of recurrence after liver transplantation (LT) is critical for optimizing the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, a new model called R3-AFP was designed and validated based on variables associated with recurrence post-LT, providing a robust framework for designing post-LT surveillance strategies, protocols, or adjuvant therapy trials for HCC patients. The R3-AFP model outperformed the original R3 model, which was solely based on explant features.

Prognostic role of selection criteria for liver transplantation in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: a network meta-analysis

Vladimir J. Lozanovski et al.

Summary: The study compared the outcomes of different models used to select patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) for liver transplantation and aimed to identify the model associated with the best recurrence-free and overall survival after transplantation. A total of 60,850 adult liver transplant patients with HCC were analyzed. Patients selected for transplantation using the MetroTicket 2 model had the highest 1-, 3-, and 5-year recurrence-free survival rates, as well as the best 1- and 3-year overall survival rates. These results highlight the importance of considering tumor morphology and biology when selecting patients with HCC for liver transplantation.

Upper Limits of Downstaging for Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Liver Transplantation

Marco Biolato et al.

Summary: In recent years, an increasing number of hepatocellular carcinoma patients responding to downstaging procedures have been included in the waitlist for liver transplantation, but face a higher risk of dropout and recurrence if not transplanted in a timely manner. Therefore, timely transplantation is crucial for post-downstaging patients.

Summary: Pulmonary metastasectomy for HCC recurrence in LT recipients showed favorable survival outcomes. Independent risk factors for survival after metastasectomy included recurrence-free survival after LT, alpha-fetoprotein level at metastasectomy, and adjuvant chemotherapy after metastasectomy.
