Several other criteria have been proposed for selecting HCC patients for liver transplantation, including the UCSF Criteria and the Up-to-7 Criteria. While these alternative criteria are less stringent and allow for the inclusion of patients with slightly larger or more numerous tumors, they have not been universally adopted. The Milan Criteria remain the most widely used due to their simplicity and proven efficacy in predicting post-transplant outcomes.
