A New Era in Treating Patients with Advanced HCC

A New Era in Treating Patients with Advanced HCC

2nd line treatment selection and the right time to switch

2nd line treatment selection and the right time to switch

Prof. Dr Jeroen Dekervel, Dr Amit Singal

In this podcast, HCC CONNECT experts discuss best practice for treating patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma and the challenges of knowing when to switch to 2nd line treatment for optimal sequencing.

How do you decide when to stop 1st line treatment when it can be potent and effective? If you do continue with 1st line therapies, how long is too long? Could switching to 2nd line treatment get better results for your patient? 

Listen as they explore the answers to these questions and discuss how to use factors like disease progression, liver function, toxicity of the treatment, and patient preference to determine the right time to switch.
