Neoadjuvant intent treatment for high risk hcc should be considered in patients. The data is there… let’s encourage this strategy!

⬇️DOWNSTAGING patients with #HCC and Macrovascular Invasion to curative intent should be a FIRST-LINE strategy. It involves both local and systemic therapy. No room for turf nonsense. 🤝 📣"VP1-3 and normalize AFP" Fight for your patients' BIG WIN. ⚔️ 🧩 #Y90 #immunotherapy

To operate or not on panc NETs <2 cm…? The answer is NOT. Excellent presentation by @spartelli on the long term outcomes of the ASPEN trial. Almost 1000 patients observed w/o resection and progression was uncommon, mets rare and survival the same as with resection.

Shout it from the rooftops! Determination of technical resectability is best left to the liver surgeon, and all patients deserve to be evaluated by one. But the decision to operate, and when, remains a multidisciplinary decision.

Nicely written editorial by @VictoriaSWu_ providing our perspective on CAIRO5, the importance of evaluation by an HPB surgeon & metastesectomy, and the lack of a standardized definition of resectability. @LVHN @TJUHospital @BrighamSurgery @michael_lidsky jgo.amegroups.org/article/view/1…
