JOURNAL CLUB

June 4, 2024 | 5-6 pm EST
Join GEST for a one-hour review of “Prostatic artery embolisation versus medical treatment in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (PARTEM): a randomised, multicentre, open-label, phase 3, superiority trial”.
The Partem trial is the first trial comparing Medical therapy to PAE. It was lead by Pr Marc Sapoval, MD PhD GEST founder and published in the Lancet.
It reflects the collaborative efforts of 10 centers where urologists and Interventional Radiologist are working together.
The positive outcome allows to propose PAE in case of failure of Alpha-blockers treatment in patients with BPH > 50 ml.

Past Journal Club Topics
EPOCH (Evaluating TheraSphere in Patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma Of the liver who have progressed on first-line Chemotherapy) is the first study to investigate the role of transarterial radioembolization with Yttrium-90 (TARE) when added to standard-of-care second-line chemotherapy for colorectal liver metastases.
Join the Journal Club on March 19th to listen to Dr Riad SALEM ‘s presentation of the study and its results on delayed disease progression, and, with our experts panel, follow the discussion of subset analyses to better identify the ideal patients who could benefit most, as well as dosimetric considerations to optimize the risk-benefit profile of TARE exposure.
