FOLFOX Plus Lenvatinib Adjuvant Therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Post-Liver Transplantation

Summary

Liver transplantation not only removes the liver tumor (seed) but also eliminates the underlying diseased liver (soil), making it an essential therapeutic approach for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the tumor recurrence post-liver transplantation significantly jeopardizing the long-term survival of transplant recipients. Given the scarcity of donor livers, exploring effective measures to prevent tumor recurrence after liver transplantation holds significant clinical and societal value. Currently, there is no consensus on adjuvant therapy for preventing tumor recurrence post-liver transplantation for HCC, and the quantity and quality of studies on systemic chemotherapy are limited. In recent years, administration of the FOLFOX regimen combined with lenvatinib has been widely used in the treatment of advanced HCC, showing remarkable efficacy. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of adjuvant chemotherapy with FOLFOX combined with lenvatinib in preventing tumor recurrence after liver transplantation for HCC beyond Milan criteria.
