Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE)

How do interventional oncologists fit into the bigger picture of multidisciplinary cancer care? Today we hear the patient’s perspective from Lynn Lazzaro, a liver cancer survivor who underwent multiple interventional oncology procedures prior to liver resection and eventual transplant. Lynn sits down with host Dr. Eric Keller to discuss her journey from initial diagnosis to present day.

In this episode, Dr. Tyler Sandow (Ochsner Health) interviews interventional radiologists Dr. Edward Kim (Mount Sinai) and Dr. Terence Gade (University of Pennsylvania) about the future directions of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatments, specifically focusing on the adoption of precision medicine and multidisciplinary approaches.

In this episode, host Dr. Chris Beck continues the discussion on managing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with Dr. Tyler Sandow and Dr. Juan Gimenez, interventional radiologists at Ochsner Health in New Orleans, Louisiana.

In this episode, host Dr. Chris Beck interviews Dr. Juan Gimenez and Dr. Tyler Sandow. Juan and Tyler are both interventional radiologists in New Orleans, Louisiana who practice at Ochsner Health System - one of the United States’ leading transplant centers. As a result, both doctors have significant experience in Y-90 radiation segmentectomy and other complex procedures for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

In this crossover episode between BackTable VI and BackTable Innovation, Dr. Chris Beck interviews Dr. Riad Salem (Chief of Interventional Radiology at Northwestern University) and Peter Pattison (President of Interventional Oncology at Boston Scientific) about how TheraSpheres for Y90 radioembolization became a mainstay in the IR toolkit for HCC and where the technology is heading next.

In this episode, guest host Dr. Nicholas Fidelman interviews Dr. Michael Soulen, a key player in the development and widespread adoption of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). The doctors discuss how TACE became a major therapeutic option for liver tumors, his preferred method of TACE dosage and management, and exciting new frontiers in chemoembolization.

Interventional Radiologist Justin Lee tells us about his approach to treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), including how this has changed over his years in private practice. This is part two of a two part series.
