Founding Members
Communications Committee
The main role of the ILCA Communications Committee is to review and establish standards for promoting the association’s strategic direction, goals and initiatives. Among its activities, the ILCA Communications Committee enhances and keeps current the ILCA Website and contributes to the dissemination of scientific knowledge through the ILCA communication channels.
Other activities of the ILCA Communications Committee include the periodic publication on the ILCA Website of a brief summary of the most recent articles on liver tumors, and the publication of a short report on the most important liver cancer studies presented at international congresses and conferences. Other activities still concern the promotion of young investigators in order to increase their visibility by publishing their most relevant projects and works on the ILCA Website. In addition, to facilitate access and knowledge of ongoing clinical studies on liver tumors, the ILCA Website contains a link to them. A further activity of the ILCA Communications Committee is to publish useful information on the ILCA Website not only for the scientific community but also for the patients and in this regard a collaboration with patient societies is in place with the aim to have their opinion about the contents before publication.
