AASLD/SITC Joint Course: The Present and Future State of Immune Therapy and Care Delivery For Liver Cancer

Description

Multidisciplinary care is essential for the optimal management of patients with liver cancer. Hepatologists play a central role in liver cancer care by assessing and managing underlying liver disease. Skills unique to hepatology include stratifying severity of liver disease, identifying and managing portal hypertension, understanding liver metabolism, and managing liver related toxicity of immune and other oncologic therapies.
The overall goal of this program is to introduce and discuss novel paradigms of HCC management and the integration of hepatology into the systemic therapy of HCC. In the first session, we will explore European and Asian models of care delivery, assess the current state of systemic therapies, consider real-world application of clinical trials data to complex cases, and understand how to anticipate and manage side effects of systemic therapy.
