Survival outcomes of patients after liver transplantation for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma exceeding the Hangzhou criteria
For patients exceeding the Hangzhou criteria, those with an AFP level ≤1,000 ng/mL can still achieve acceptable long-term prognosis after LT. Administration of metformin has a strong positive association with longer recurrence-free survival. The patient criteria for selection for LT can be tentatively expanded.
