Long-term graft and patient survival are the key issues in transplantation. Liver transplantation is potentially a curative treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, disease recurrence is the main challenge to the success of this treatment. Immunosuppressants that are universally used after transplantation to prevent graft rejection could potentially have a significant impact on HCC recurrence. This session will discuss the potential effects of different types of immunosuppressants on HCC recurrence and the role of personalized immunosuppressants used for patients transplanted with HCC.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Define personalized Immunosuppression.
  2. State potential effects of different types of immunosuppressants on HCC recurrence.
