Table 4 Combined morphological/biological selection criteria
Ref.ParametersImportance
DuBay et al[60]Liver tumor biopsyExcluding poorly differentiated tumors
Toso et al[52]TTV > 115 cm3Reduced survival at 3 yr (< 50%)
AFP > 400 ng/mLLimit for indication for LT
Lai et al[62]AFP > 400 ng/mLStrongest predictor for recurrence
Total tumor diameter > 8 cm
Duvoux et al[63]Model combining log10 AFP, tumor size and n of tumors: Score > or < 2Score greater that 2 predict a market increase in 5 yr risk of recurrence and decreased survival
Berry et al[66]AFP < 15 or > 15 ng/mLAFP levels predicts post-transplant survival independently of MC
