Managing Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Carlos Becerra, MD, recently shared the treatment considerations and decisions he makes when treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. Becerra, a medical oncologist at Texas Oncology, Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center, explained his treatment decisions based on 2 case scenarios during a <em>Targeted Oncology </em>live case-based peer perspectives presentation.

Ghassan K. Abou-Alfa, MD, a medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discusses results of the CELESTIAL trial. The results were clinically and statistically significant, Abou-Alfa notes.

Overall survival was extended in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and elevated baseline alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) who received second-line treatment with ramucirumab (Cyramza) versus placebo, according to findings from the phase III REACH-2 trial.

According to early results of an ongoing early-phase study presented at the 2018 Society of Interventional Radiology Annual Scientific Meeting, image-guided injections of talimogene laherparepvec immunotherapy (T-VEC, Imylgic) were deemed tolerable in patients with advanced-stage liver metastases.
