Methods A total of 183 patients who received liver transplantation for HCC at 900th Hospital of PLA from January 2003 to December 2012 were enrolled in this study, and 76 patients who met Milan Criteria For Liver Transplantation and had no microvascular invasion (MVI) in the para-carcinoma tissues were included. The patients were divided into two groups:recurrence & metastasis group and no recurrence & metastasis group, based on five years of follow-up after operation. The expression differences of T-cadherin between cancer and corresponding non-cancerous tissues of the two groups were observed, and within five years later after surgery, the expression differences of T-cadherin gene were compared with recurrence & metastasis and those without recurrence & metastasis in the cancer tissues of patients. Results The five-year cumulative recurrence and metastasis rate was 21.05% in 76 patients who met the Milan Criteria for liver transplantation of HCC, among which no MVI were 46 patients (60.52%), and the recurrence and metastasis rate was 17.39%. The rate of T-cadherin gene expression was low in cancer tissues, but its abnormal expression and deletion rate was up to 47.83%, which was significantly higher than that (6.52%) in the para-carcinoma tissues. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=19.828, P=0.000). The T-cadherin abnormal expression rate of the recurrence & metastasis group (100%) was significantly different from that in the no recurrence & metastasis group (36.84%) (χ2=10.565, P=0.001) in cancer tissues. Conclusions The abnormal expression and deletion of Tcadherin gene in cancer tissues is closely related to the recurrence and metastasis of HCC after liver transplantation, and T-cadherin gene may be used as a prognostic indicator and drug research target for HCC patients undergoing liver transplantation."/>
