Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver consensus recommendations on hepatocellular carcinoma (2010, background): “In centers where graft shortage is a severe problem, resection as first-line treatment followed by salvage transplantation for recurrent tumors or liver failure may be a reasonable strategy [278, 279].”
Management of hepatocellular carcinoma: An update (2011, positive): “Solitary recurrence might benefit from repeat resection, but in most patients recurrence after primary resection will be multifocal because of intra-hepatic dissemination from the primary tumor.(29,250,270) It has been suggested that patients with recurrence might be candidates for salvage transplan”
