TACE Prior to Transplant • Major issue = Dropout rate (30-40%) • Role of TACE: • Patients within Milan criteria (maintain in waiting list) • Patients outside Milan criteria (for downstaging to fullfil Milan criteria) • Induce high hystological tumour response rate • Decrease recurrence rates?
Dr Citron –Atlanta, US • Retrospective study • 9 listed patients (>Child A-B, single nodules, mean tumour size 2cm (0.3-5.1) • 1-3 treatments prior to transplant • 100-300 and/or 300-500mm DC Bead with up 150mg doxorubicin • Liver transplant (1-281 days post-treatment)
