Brief summary

Based on the follow-up data of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients undergoing liver transplantation from the China Liver Transplant Registry (CLTR) and the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, patients who met the inclusion criteria were assessed for tumor response, post-transplant tumor recurrence, and survival rates. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate patient prognosis and to identify risk factors affecting outcomes.

Detailed description

A retrospective study was performed on patients who underwent liver transplant for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University between January 2015 and December 2024. Clinical data including demographic characteristics, tumor characteristics, detailed history of pre-transplant antitumor therapy, perioperative laboratory parameters, surgical details, and pathological findings were collected from the hospital's prospective clinical database. Based on follow-up records, patients who met the inclusion criteria were evaluated for tumor response, post-transplant tumor recurrence and overall survival. Statistical analyses were conducted to assess postoperative prognosis and to identify risk factors associated with clinical outcomes.

Interventions

The study was retrospective and did not involve the application of interventions.
