Selection of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma for liver transplantation: Past and future

Table 1 Isolated biological criteria for the selection of candidates with hepatocellular carcinoma for liver transplantation

Ref.	Pretrasplant AFP levels (ng/mL)	Importance
Figueras et al[19]	> 300	Factor for mortality
Yao et al[16]	> 1.000	Reduced survival
Bruix[20]	> 200	Significant worse outcomes
Xu et al[21]	> 400	Higher tumor recurrence
Mailey et al[22]	Low ( ≤ 20)	Mediun and high: Higher mortality
	Mediun (20-399)
	High (≥ 400)
Muscari et al[23]		DFS	Recurrence
	Normal	71%	4%
	10-150	75%	10%
	150-500	57%	24%
	> 500	46%	62%
Chiao et al[24]	> 1.000	Reason for exclusion from the WL
Hameed et al[25]
Menon et al[26]	> 10.000	Reason for exclusion from the WL

AFP: Alpha fetoprotein; DFS: Disease-free survival; WL: Waiting list.
