    S01 Ep. 1 Multidisciplinary HCC Care: Improving the Patient Experience with Combined Clinics
    Jan 17 2025
    Welcome to the first episode of BackTable Tumor Board, and our first recording session at our new in-person studio! Guest host Dr. Tyler Sandow (interventional radiologist) leads a multidisciplinary discussion about patient care coordination in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnosis and treatment, with insights from his colleagues at Ochsner Health– Dr. Steven Young (hepatologist), Dr. Jonathan Mizrahi (medical oncologist), and Deondra Bonds-Adams (patient navigator).

Deondra highlights the importance of assessing the patient’s understanding of their disease and the role of physician extenders and schedulers in patient education. Dr. Young discusses the value of outreach clinics and streamlining the transplant evaluation process. Finally, Dr. Mizrahi gives advice on building referral networks and establishing early contact with transplant centers. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 00:46 - Multidisciplinary Tumor Board 06:00 - Patient Experience in Treatment Pathways 10:10 - Barriers to Treatment 16:03 - Benefits of IR Clinic 19:33 - HCC Screening and Risk Factors 24:08 - Building Referral Networks 30:34 - Strategies for Effective Scheduling 35:43 - The Future of HCC Treatment --- RESOURCES CME Accreditation Information: https://f7cae4ec-b69e-490d-9e0f-19b16a6f146d.usrfiles.com/ugd/f7cae4_a7c37ea3cd1b4d3fa53d5edf8dfe255b.pdf

    S01 Ep. 2 How to Simplify Dosing: Understanding Y-90 Dosimetry from Simple to Complex
    Jan 17 2025
    Of all the topics covered during interventional radiology training, dosimetry education is often delayed until after IRs enter clinical practice. In this episode, Drs. Tyler Sandow and Sabeen Dhand host a roundtable discussion with experts on the dosimetry fundamentals that all Y90 operators should understand. They are joined by interventional radiologists Drs. Zachary Berman, Kirema Garcia-Reyes, and Siddharth Padia, who provide their expert insights.

Dosing strategies depend on factors such as tumor size, perfusion territory, underlying liver function, the choice between glass versus resin spheres, and treatment intent. These considerations are illustrated with real-life case examples. The doctors also explore voxel-based dosimetry, a method for calculating the amount of radiation absorbed by different parts of the tumor. They stress the importance of learning how to perform accurate dosage calculations. Finally, the conversation touches on data from major Y90 trials, current guidelines, and the evolving perspective on Y90 as a potential curative treatment, rather than merely a bridging therapy. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 01:59 - Dosimetry Education During Training 05:46 - Benefit of Individualized Dosing 11:01 - Complications from High Doses 15:19 - Dosage Calculation Cases 22:51 - Duration of Response to Y90 25:00 - Dosing Based on Treatment Intent 29:11 - Challenging Case Example 42:31 - Voxel-Based Dosimetry 45:15 - Using Dosimetry Software --- RESOURCES LEGACY Trial (Salem et al, 2021): https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8596669/ Voxel-based tumor dose correlates to complete pathologic necrosis after transarterial radioembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma (Pianka et al, 2024): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38913189/ RAPY90D Trial (Kappadath et al, 2023): https://jnm.snmjournals.org/content/64/supplement_1/P268 Clinical, dosimetric, and reporting considerations for Y-90 glass microspheres in hepatocellular carcinoma: updated 2022 recommendations from an international multidisciplinary working group (Salem et al, 2023): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36114872/ International recommendations for personalised selective internal radiation therapy of primary and metastatic liver diseases with yttrium-90 resin microspheres (Levillain, 2021): https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00259-020-05163-5) CME Accreditation Information: https://f7cae4ec-b69e-490d-9e0f-19b16a6f146d.usrfiles.com/ugd/f7cae4_a7c37ea3cd1b4d3fa53d5edf8dfe255b.pdf

    S01 Ep. 3 Combination Therapy and Clinical Trials for Advanced HCC: What They Really Mean
    Jan 17 2025
    In the past five years, the use of immunotherapeutic agents for advanced cancers has emerged as a promising alternative to tyrosine kinase inhibitors and chemotherapy, making it an exciting time to be practicing oncology. In this episode, Dr. Tyler Sandow interviews oncology experts about the landscape of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the current state of immunotherapy treatments. He is joined by medical oncologists Dr. Jonathan Mizrah, Dr. Lingling Du, and Dr. Adam Burgoyne, as well as interventional oncologist Dr. Zachary Berman. Physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants can follow this link to earn CME / CE credits for completing an accredited learning activity related to this discussion: https://www.cmeuniversity.com/course/take/125737 --- This podcast is supported by an educational grant from AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals and Boston Scientific. --- SYNPOSIS Drs. Burgoyne and Mizrahi provide a primer on immunotherapy and explain how they communicate the principles of this treatment to their patients. Dr. Du discusses the Imbrave clinical trial and how recent studies have shown improved overall survival when immunotherapeutic agents are used, especially when multiple agents targeting various pathways are employed. When choosing between different regimens, the doctors consider factors such as the patient's underlying liver function, symptom burden, and prior treatments. Importantly, the doctors also discuss contraindications to immunotherapy, including a history of organ transplant, autoimmune disease, and poor performance status—all of which put patients at high risk for deterioration with this treatment. The treatment of patients with poor liver function remains controversial, as underlying cirrhosis may prevent the recovery of liver function. Dr. Berman outlines recent clinical trials studying the effects of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with immunotherapy. Finally, the doctors discuss the future of HCC treatment and the benefits of continued innovation in both interventional and medical oncology. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction to Immunotherapy 04:32 - Notable Clinical Trials 13:39 - HCC Etiology and Immunotherapy Outcomes 18:43 - Contraindications for Immunotherapy 23:05 - Adverse Effects from Treatment 25:14 - Combination Therapy 36:22 - Considerations for Immunotherapy Dosing 40:26 - The Future of HCC Treatment --- RESOURCES Atezolizumab plus Bevacizumab in Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma, IMbrave150 Trial (Finn et al, 2020): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32402160/ Tremelimumab plus Durvalumab in Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma, HIMALAYA Trial (Abou-Alfa et al, 2022): https://evidence.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/EVIDoa2100070 Nivolumab versus sorafenib in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (CheckMate 459): a randomised, multicentre, open-label, phase 3 trial (Yau, 2022): https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanonc/article/PIIS1470-2045(21)00604-5/abstract Nivolumab (NIVO) plus ipilimumab (IPI) vs lenvatinib (LEN) or sorafenib (SOR) as first-line treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC): First results from CheckMate 9DW (Galle, 2024): https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO.2024.42.17_suppl.LBA4008 Randomized Phase 3 LEAP-012 Study: Transarterial Chemoembolization With or Without Lenvatinib Plus Pembrolizumab for Intermediate-Stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma Not Amenable to Curative Treatment (Llovet, 2022): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35119481/ EMERALD-1: A phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study of transarterial chemoembolization combined with durvalumab with or without bevacizumab in participants with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma eligible for embolization (Lencioni, 2024): https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO.2024.42.3_suppl.LBA432 CME Accreditation Information: https://f7cae4ec-b69e-490d-9e0f-19b16a6f146d.usrfiles.com/ugd/f7cae4_a7c37ea3cd1b4d3fa53d5edf8dfe255b.pdf
