There has been a high incidence of tumor recurrence after liver transplantation for primary hepatic malignancy. Nevertheless, a small but significant palliation has been possible with this approach, even in patients who eventually died of recurrence. Two patients with incidental malignancies in their excised livers apparently have been cured. Further gains will be possible only with extremely discriminating selection of prospective recipients.
对于原发性肝癌患者，肝移植术后肿瘤复发率一直很高。然而，即便对于最终死于复发的患者，这种方法也能带来微小但显著的缓解。两名在切除肝脏中发现有偶然恶性肿瘤的患者显然已被治愈。只有通过极其严格地挑选潜在受者，才有可能取得进一步进展。
