Survival and recurrence after OLT and partial hepatectomy. After OLT, overall survival (A) and RFS (B), and recurrence are not impacted by presence of occult multifocality in OLT patients (P = 0.45 and 0.76, respectively). After partial hepatectomy, patients beyond MC had worse overall survival (C) and RFS (D) than patients within MC (P = 0.03 and P = 0.006, respectively). Patients with HCC within the Milan criteria had significant lower rates of recurrence after partial hepatectomy than those beyond Milan criteria (P = 0.006).
