The purpose of the ILCA Guidances is to broaden awareness and deepen knowledge about recent, relevant research diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer. Expand ILCA’s thought leadership through generating additional guidance documentation offering an invaluable resource in the correct management of liver cancer.
Transarterial Chemoembolisation (TACE) Consensus Guidance
ILCA is developing the Transarterial Chemoembolisation (TACE) Consensus Guidance. A multi-disciplinary working group of oncologists, surgeons, hepatologists and scientists is working together to write clinical questions and literature search for the TACE manuscript based on the findings of evidence-based medicine. This guidance generated by these experts will provide a set of recommendations and unique documentation offering an invaluable resource in the correct management of liver cancer and helping patients with the best care options.
ILCA TACE Consensus Guidance will be finalised and published in 2022.
Biomarker Development for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
There is an urgent clinical need for new biomarkers in hepatocellular carcinoma, including better tools for early tumor detection and prediction of response to systemic therapies.
The International Liver Cancer Association has put together an exceptional team of experts led by Drs. Villanueva and Singal, who recently published a white paper with recommendations on the design, interpretation and reporting of biomarker studies in hepatocellular carcinoma. This addresses the much needed guidance for academia and industry on the best approach to develop new biomarkers for this devastating disease.
