Extended survival of patients with persistently suppressed hepatitis B transplanted for hepatocellular carcinoma

摘要

Background & AimsHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has become a major cause of liver-related death and indication to liver transplantation (LT) in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection following the widespread adoption of antiviral therapy with nucleos(t)ide analogs (NUCs). Yet, the long-term outcome of patients undergoing liver transplantation for an HCC developed during effective NUC treatment is unknown.
