Differential Impact of Age Among Liver Transplant Candidates With and Without Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Giuseppe Cullaro, Jessica B. Rubin, Neil Mehta, Jennifer C. Lai – 14 October 2019 – Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fastest‐rising cause of cancer‐related mortality in the United States and is a leading indication for liver transplantation (LT). Changes have been noted in the age of the population with chronic liver disease, but how this change affects patients with HCC is unknown. This study aims to characterize trends and transplant‐associated outcomes among patients ≥65 years old listed for LT with HCC.
