Liver transplantation has become an extraordinarily valuable and useful operation, but one that is not perfect and that has not been exploited to anything like its full potential. Better immunosuppression may become available soon as exemplified by developments with the Japanese drug, FK506. Improved preservation with the UW solution is already here. With these advantages, liver transplantation is certain to become far more widely used than at any time in the past. Examples were cited of innovative approaches using liver transplantation for the treatment of hepatic malignancies.
肝移植已成为一项极具价值且实用的手术,但它并非完美无缺,其全部潜力也远未得到充分发挥。更好的免疫抑制方法可能很快就会出现,比如日本药物FK506的研发进展。UW溶液在肝脏保存方面的改进已经实现。有了这些优势,肝移植肯定会比过去任何时候都得到更广泛的应用。文中列举了一些创新性的方法,即利用肝移植治疗肝脏恶性肿瘤。
