If you have stories of contract abuse or unfair practices, please DM me—we’re working hard to expose these injustices @vascularpodcast @_backtable

🔥news from #EASL2024 Liver transplantation following HCC downstaging with atezolizumab/bevacizumab: preliminary results of the ImmunoXXL study 👏still early, but amazing data 👉ICI before LTx seems feasible & safe 🧐Real chance to improve outcome in HCC @EASLedu @myESMO @ILCAnews #livertwitter

Surgery vs ablation for small-size CRC liver mtes at #ASCO24 🔎COLLISION phase III, 300 pts 👉medien size 14mm, 2mets 👉mOS: no difference 👉similar local control 👉reduced morbidity & mortality in ablation arm 🧐Ablation very valid option @myESMO @ILCAnews @EASLnews #livertwitter
