PROGRAM OVERVIEW

With the accelerated expansion of the treatment landscape of intermediate and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), several practical challenges have emerged in clinical practice. An example of this is the challenge of identifying patients with intermediate HCC who would benefit from local-regional treatment with TACE/TARE or a combination approach with TACE/TARE + IO. Multidisciplinary care is critical to optimize outcomes for these patients.

This program features a moderated discussion among a panel of experts: a surgeon, a hepatologist, and a medical oncologist, all involved in the management and treatment of patients with HCC.

Learning Objectives

TARGET AUDIENCE

This educational activity has been designed to meet the professional educational needs of medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists, gastroenterologists, interventional radiologists, and advanced practice professionals who treat and manage patients with gastrointestinal cancers.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

Implement novel first-line regimens, including multimodal combination and sequential treatment strategies, in the treatment of patients with intermediate HCC based on emerging evidence from clinical trials
Integrate emerging therapies and novel combination regimens in the treatment of patients with advanced HCC to improve treatment outcomes
