| Popis: | Orthotopic liver transplantation has been considered as one of the therapeutic tools in certain patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. In our liver Unit in Besançon, 17 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were treated by orthotopic liver transplantation between March 1986 and December 1991. This series included 14 men and 3 women. The mean age was 51 years (range: 36-62). In 11 cases, hepatocellular carcinoma was multifocal and larger than 5 cm, in 6 cases, the tumor was encapsulated, and was well differentiated in 11 cases. Lymph node invasion was observed in 2 cases and the portal vein was invaded in 5 cases. Before orthotopic liver transplantation, alpha foetoprotein was increased in 10 cases. Kaplan-Meier actuarial survival was 76%, 53%, 40%, at one, two and three years, respectively, and remained unchanged at four years. There were 9 recurrences of hepatocellular carcinoma. There were 8 deaths, 4 due to a tumor recurrence. A tumor larger than 5 cm was the only parameter statistically associated with recurrence in this study. |
