Popis: Background: We sought to measure the impact of model for end stage liver disease (MELD) score, tumor staging, and microvascular invasion (MVI) on the relative survival benefit of liver transplantation (LT) versus liver resection (LR) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Results: Two hundred eighty-three patients (26 %) with a MELD score of ≥10 had an acceptable 5-year survival after LR of 47 %, while that of patients with a low MELD score was 67 % (p 10 cm) tumors, macrovascular invasion, and metastases. We identified three tumor stages: stage I (within Milan, n = 806), stage II (beyond Milan within Up-to-7, n = 123), and stage III (beyond Milan and Up-to-7, n = 177). Patient survival after LR was compared to that predicted after LT by the Metroticket calculator in relationship with staging, MVI, and MELD score using Monte Carlo simulation.Conclusions: LT proved to be harmful in patients with resectable HCC with a low MELD score (
