Prophylactic liver transplantation for high-risk recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma

Table 3 Scoring systems for predicting hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence

Ref.	Basis of scoring system	Prognostic factors	Discriminated scores
Pan et al[76]	Glasgow prognostic score	Preoperative	0, 1, 2
		CRP > 10 mg/L (1 point)
		Albumin < 3.5 g/L (1 point)
Fuks et al[32]	Histological features	Microscopic vascular invasion	< 3 factors
		Presence of satellite nodules	≥ 3 factors
		Tumor size > 3 cm
		Poor differentiated tumor
		Cirrhosis
Roayaie et al[66]	Degree of vascular invasion	Invasion of a vessel with a muscular wall (1 point)	0, 1, 2
		Invasion of a vessel ≥ 1 cm from the tumor capsule (1 point)
Lee et al[68]	Clinical risk score	Initial disease beyond Milan criteria	0, 1, 2, 3
		Microsatellites or multiple tumors
		Lymphovascular invasion (1 point for each factor)

Higher scores indicate higher recurrence rate. CRP: C-reactive protein.
