INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to compare survival outcomes in @entity1 enlisted for liver transplantation following liver resection for @entity157 before or at recurrence. METHODS: All @entity1 enlisted for liver transplantation following liver resection for @entity157 from 1996 to 2013 were included and compared according to their status at the time of enlistment: before (de principe) or at (salvage) recurrence. Primary end-point was survival since resection. RESULTS: One hundred and twenty-one @entity1 were enlisted for liver transplantation following liver resection for @entity157 . Ten @entity1 enlisted for @entity82 decompensation were excluded from the analysis. Sixty-three @entity1 were enlisted de principe, and 48 for a salvage transplantation. Eleven @entity1 dropped-out. According to per-protocol analysis, the mean diameter of the largest @entity5 was the only different pathological characteristic of initial resection between groups (31.6  mm in the de principe group versus 48.3 in the salvage, p   =   0.017). The 5-year overall survival rate was significantly increased in the de principe group compared to salvage (84.6 versus 74.8  %, p   =   0.017). In a multivariate analysis, the salvage strategy was the only independent prognostic factor for @entity204 (p   =   0.040; OR   =   2.5 [1.1-5.8]). CONCLUSION: De principe enlistment for liver transplantation following liver resection for @entity157 is associated with greater survival.
