Comparative Study
Longterm prognosis of combined hepatocellular carcinoma-cholangiocarcinoma following liver transplantation and resection.
Combined hepatocellular carcinoma-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CC) is a rare disease. We investigated the clinicopathological features of cHCC-CC and compared the longterm outcomes following liver transplantation (LT) and hepatic resection (HR). We identified 32 LT patients with cHCC-CC through an institutional database search. ⋯ The longterm posttransplant prognosis was similar following LT and HR. Very early cHCC-CC resulted in favorable posttransplant prognosis, thus this selection condition can be prudently considered for LT indication. Liver Transplantation 23 330-341 2017 AASLD.
