Pre-LT imaging underestimates tumour burden, and prediction of recurrence should be reassessed after LT. The explant-based "Up to seven" and Decaens models provided the best accuracy for prediction of 5-year recurrence, identifying only two levels of risk. New models are needed to further refine the prediction of recurrence after LT.
