Journal Club
Quarterly Review of Publications by the GEST Research Committee
JOURNAL CLUB
Join GEST’s Research Committee as we review current publications and breakthrough research that can impact IR’s practice and patient outcomes. The Journal Club will meet virtually online once per quarter.
Topics and dates are listed below.
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.
