AFP and hepatocellular carcinoma: In a recent retrospective study by Assalino et al., selected HCC patients with radiological signs of vascular invasion could be considered for transplantation, provided that they previously underwent successful treatment (with RE, TACE or surgery) of the macrovascular invasion resulting in a pretransplant AFP < 10 ng/mL, with an expected risk of posttransplant HCC recurrence of 11% [94].
