Hepatocellular carcinoma

Josep M. Llovet et al.

Summary: Liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), poses a significant global health challenge with rising incidence projected to exceed 1 million cases by 2025. Infection by hepatitis B and C viruses remains a major risk factor for HCC, while non-alcoholic steatohepatitis is emerging as a more common risk factor in Western countries. Advances in systemic therapies for HCC, including immunotherapies and targeted therapies, are expected to revolutionize the management of this disease.

Improved oncologic outcomes by ablative radiotherapy in patients with bone metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma

Tae Hyung Kim et al.

Summary: Ablative radiotherapy has shown significant improvement in overall survival and pain palliation in patients with bone metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma. Results indicate a median overall survival of 5.1 months after ablative radiotherapy, with patients with oligometastasis showing longer survival compared to those without metastases.

Radiotherapy of oligometastatic prostate cancer: a systematic review

Paul Rogowski et al.

Summary: This review summarizes the current evidence on radiation therapy as metastasis-directed therapy for oligometastatic prostate cancer, showing high local control rates and a proportion of patients without progressive disease after 2 years. Ongoing research is focusing on identifying relevant prognostic and predictive factors.

MR-Guided Adaptive Radiotherapy for Bladder Cancer

Adham Hijab et al.

Summary: Radiotherapy plays a significant role in both curative and palliative treatment of bladder cancer, but faces technical challenges such as poor tumor visualization and bladder size variability. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is favored for tumor visualization and staging, and the integration of MRI scanning with linear accelerator in MR-Linac systems allows for real-time plan adaptation during treatment, potentially improving outcomes for bladder cancer patients. However, robust evidence is needed to determine if MR-guided radiotherapy translates into better patient outcomes before widespread clinical implementation.

Advanced Techniques in the Percutaneous Ablation of Liver Tumours

Terrence C. H. Hui et al.

Summary: Percutaneous ablation is a common treatment for liver tumors, with a focus on achieving necrosis of tumor cells while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. Considerations include choosing appropriate imaging and protective techniques to optimize outcomes and achieve satisfactory ablation margins.

Experience with regorafenib in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma

Alessandro Granito et al.

Summary: Regorafenib, structurally similar to sorafenib, shows significant survival advantage in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who failed first-line treatment, by targeting angiogenic and tumor growth-promoting pathways, inhibiting tumor neo-angiogenesis and proliferation, and modulating the tumor microenvironment. It is being explored for use in combination therapy with immune checkpoint blockade and for extended use in patient categories beyond registrative studies.

Role of Locoregional Therapies in Patients With Hepatocellular Cancer Awaiting Liver Transplantation

Paul J. Thuluvath et al.

Summary: Hepatocellular cancer is a common and deadly cancer worldwide. Liver transplantation is the preferred treatment for unresectable HCC, but due to long waiting periods, locoregional therapies may be needed for some patients.
