Dr James Harding is a board-certified medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, USA. He specializes in caring for people with liver cancer, gallbladder cancer, and bile duct cancer. His primary goal is to provide the best possible treatment and individualized care for people with these diseases. In his research, he is trying to find new, effective therapies for gastrointestinal cancer, particularly primary liver and bile duct tumors. For example, he is working on ways to use a patient’s own immune system to fight cancer (immunotherapy). In addition, Dr Harding is investigating strategies to block specific cellular pathways that cancer uses to grow. He has helped develop and lead numerous national and international clinical trials of these new cancer therapies for patients with liver, bile duct cancers, and other solid tumors. Dr Harding’s research and training has been supported by the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, the National Institutes of Health, the American Association for Cancer Research, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. His work has been published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Nature, Nature Medicine, the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Cancer Discovery, Clinical Cancer Research, and Cancer.

Professor James Harding, HCC Connect member, provides his perspectives and insights on key abstracts and topics discussed at ASCO GI 2022 and EASL liver cancer summit 2022 in hepatocellular carcinoma. He discusses the HIMALAYA study which evaluated dual immune checkpoint blockade inhibition namely, anti-CTLA-4 antibody tremelimumab with the anti-PD-L1 antibody durvalumab in the frontline setting with patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. There were other important studies at the meeting and Prof Harding highlights the RENOBATE study and the GOING study that evaluated nivolumab in combination with regorafenib and early addition of nivolumab to regorafenib regimem, respectively
