My father was a well built 6 footer, just turned 65 a month ago. HCC was diagnosed with HCC in October 2022. Chemo was ruled out, surgery was ruled out. He was prescribed Lenvatinib capsules. Coped well until July. Became too weak for immunotherapy. Slowly grew weak and died peacefully on 07th October 2023. The hard truth is, once you have HCC, death is only prolonged, and whatever you do, it cannot be evaded. That's the hard truth!!😐😐😐😐

ERROR: At 17:25, I wrote and said that the combination of nivolumab and pembrolizumab is used for the 3rd line therapy. Pembrolizumab should be ipilimumab. In other words, the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab is correct.

For MRI scan of the liver, gadoxetic acid (Eovist) enhanced MRI is more sensitive than using gadolinium as a contrast because Eovist is taken up by hepatocytes, and excreted into the bile as well as in the urine.

Thank you for the infroamtive lecture. but regarding the introduction slide, did you mean (falciform ligament) intstead of ligament falciparum?

I wish my state had “Dying with Dignity” legislation passed.

Addendum: At 15:10, I described the BCLC stage A. I would like to add that any solitary tumor >2 cm belongs to stage A.

Management of HCC is complicated. Your lecture is nothing but reiteration of book work, though comprehensive, almost lack of personal concept or recommendation, while some parts are outdated. The parts on PET and Y90 are confusing, if not biased.
