Bookmark this Page

 
Concept:
 
A loco-regionally treated observation
. 
Definition: 
 
An observation that has undergone loco-regional treatment.

Comments: 
  • LR-Treated does not imply that loco-regional treatment was successful.
  • Residual or recurrent HCC may be present.
Management implications: 
  • LR-Treated does not imply absence of residual or recurrent HCC.
  • LR-Treated observations require assessment of treatment response (criteria for assessing treatment response are in development).
  • LR-Treated observations may require re-treatment if there is persistent/recurrent tumor.
  • LR-Treated observations qualify for continued priority points predicated on their pre-treatment categorization. See UNOS/OPTN policy 3.6.4.4.
