Summary
Hepatocellular carcinoma treatment for non-surgical patients utilizes minimally invasive techniques. Personalized multidisciplinary tumor board discussions consider global perspectives, impacting patient care strategies.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Interventional Radiology
Background:
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a significant global cause of mortality.
- Minimally invasive locoregional interventional oncology techniques offer alternatives for early-stage HCC patients ineligible for surgery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To integrate existing literature with expert insights from the Mediterranean Interventional Oncology (MIO) Live Congress 2023.
- To address potential disparities in HCC treatment influenced by Western and Eastern perspectives.
Main Methods:
- Literature review and synthesis of evidence.
- Incorporation of expert discussions from a focused session at MIO Live Congress 2023.
Main Results:
- Personalized treatment decisions for HCC are typically made by multidisciplinary tumor boards.
- Treatment approaches may vary based on geographical perspectives (Western vs. Eastern).
Conclusions:
- Minimally invasive locoregional techniques are crucial for managing non-surgical early-stage HCC.
- Integrating diverse experiences and evidence is key to refining HCC treatment protocols globally.
