Interested in a specialized area of hepatology? Join TLMdX's SIG sessions to exchange ideas with experts on trending topics. Sessions include:
This program will summarize key concepts in U.S. and global strategies to achieve hepatitis C elimination. Experts will address topics such as new universal screening recommendations, novel paradigms for care delivery beyond the specialty clinic, global strategies for microelimination, treatment as prevention in persons who inject drugs (PWID), and the latest updates on HCV vaccine development.
Learning Objectives:
This engaging session will explore hot topics in the management of liver cancer, including talks on hepatobiliary neoplasia and liver transplant. The program’s first segment will address advancements in research on the pathogenesis and surgical management of liver cancer, while the second half provides analysis of the newest advances in the systemic management of both iCCA and HCC.
Learning Objectives:
This SIG reveals recent progress made in liver fibrosis related to NASH, including new molecular mechanisms and translational aspects of NASH-mediated fibrosis and cirrhosis, and translation of laboratory findings into humans. Speakers will cover significant new information about the potential role of hepatocytes, crosstalk with non-parenchymal cells in NASH-fibrosis, and potential non-invasive biomarkers and treatments of patients with NASH-fibrosis.
Learning Objectives:
This two-session program explores non-cirrhotic portal hypertension in both children and adults. The first session covers the definition/nomenclature and diagnostic strategies for non-cirrhotic portal hypertension. The second session explores monitoring and management of children and adults with non-cirrhotic portal hypertension, including medical, interventional radiology and surgical challenges. Each session includes case presentations to highlight controversies, expert panel interviews and Q&A.
Learning Objectives:
Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) has emerged as a leading indicator of liver disease and the need for organ transplant. Currently, we lack effective pharmacological therapies to improve long-term outcomes in ALD patients, but new research advances are highly encouraging. Join this ALD SIG program for important research updates and to identify unmet clinical needs in ALD patients.
