Abstract

LT might be considered in carefully selected patients. The risk of tumor recurrence remains a significant clinical problem after LT, but data focused on immunosuppression issue are lacking, and there are no currently approved strategies for prevention of recurrence or follow-up protocols. Further studies are needed to define universally accepted inclusion criteria, reliable predictors of better outcome, and optimal timing for LT.
