Liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma: is zero recurrence theoretically possible?
Among HCC patients within the Milan criteria, selecting patients with factors based on histology would allow tending towards zero recurrence, and prior histological assessment by liver biopsy or resection may be essential to rule out poorly differentiated tumors, microvascular invasion, and cholangiocarcinoma component.
The preimmune repertoire of IgM antibodies to Galalpha1-3Gal is thus more restricted than the antibody repertoire after sensitization, suggesting an antigen-induced shift in the repertoire.
