We hosted an inspiring HCC Oncology Dinner in Brisbane, gathering almost 40 healthcare professionals to explore advancements in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) surveillance.

Chaired by Prof. James O’Beirne from Sunshine Coast University Hospital, the event featured expert insights from Prof. Patricia Valery, @Dr. Jonathan Mitchell, and Dr. Manil Chouhan on the latest trends in HCC incidence, challenges in rural surveillance, and emerging tools like LI-RADS v2024 and biomarkers like GAAD for early, impactful detection.

The event fostered collaboration, innovation, and inspiring discussions on advancing HCC surveillance and improving patient outcomes.

In a recent interview Associate Prof Simone Strasser provided valuable insights on the greatest challenges in early detection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) surveillance in Australia.

Associate Prof Strasser commented “We are going to have emerging tools for HCC surveillance and that means we have to put a lot of effort to identify the people in the community who are at the greatest risk of developing liver cancer so that surveillance can be applied to them.”
