Liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma using grafts from uncontrolled circulatory death donation

Abstract Controversy exists regarding whether the rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) differs when using livers from donation after controlled circulatory death (DCD) versus livers from donation after brain death (DBD). The aim of this cohor...
