Claasen, Lawrence Lau, Andre Gorgen, Phillipe Abreu, Anna Goldenberg, Lauren Erdman, Gonzalo Sapisochin – 8 October 2021 – Liver transplantation (LT) listing criteria for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain controversial. To optimize the utility of limited donor organs, this study aims to leverage machine learning to develop an accurate posttransplantation HCC recurrence prediction calculator. Patients with HCC listed for LT from 2000 to 2016 were identified, with 739 patients who underwent LT used for modeling.
