It’s very rare to get an opportunity to be interacting with other researchers who are interested in a completely different research area, compared to the same people you always meet when you go to an immunotherapy/oncology conference. It’s really a great opportunity to get the latest and greatest about the science, but also to interact with colleagues that normally you wouldn’t have a chance to meet with.

Radiological Sciences and Surgery Symposium
Targeted Therapy and Personalised Medicine of Hepatocellular Carcinomas


 Track type: Symposium


Date: 18 Sep 2021

 

 Time: 0935 - 1105


Location: Seminar Room 6


Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is a complex disease and it is widely accepted that a multidisciplinary team approach is the best to tailor a personalised management. This generally depends on multiple factors such as tumour burden, extent of hepatic dysfunction, morbid medical conditions and patient preference. Treatment options range from curative surgery for resectable disease, to locoregional therapy such as radiofrequency ablation, or palliative options which include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, transarterial chemoembolisation and Y90 hepatic radioembolisation.

Subspeciality experts from surgery, medical oncology, interventional radiology and nuclear medicine will provide  updates on the treatment options and highlight research findings from phase 3 clinical trials such as Checkmate 040, SIRveNIB (AHCC 06) and ongoing PLANet AHCC07 trials. The speakers from oncologic imaging radiology will also share their experiences in employing artificial intelligence to identify radiomics signature of HCC.
