About this course
In this fascinating discussion, four of the leading experts in the field of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) discuss the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of HCC.
Follow along as they review several patient profiles to assess whether checkpoint inhibitors are appropriate, and discuss how monitoring and patient management should be modified in anticipation of any adverse events.
You will learn about what pre-therapy tests should be conducted, what information is important to communicate to patients and the relative likelihood of different adverse events. Finally, you will see how different laboratory profiles can be caused by different factors, from tumour progression to checkpoint inhibitor treatment itself.
