\nPersonalizing Interventional Oncology Options for Hepatocellular Carcinoma<\/p>\n
\nResponses to treatments for Hepatocellular Carcinoma vary greatly. As a result, algorithms to restate and retreat patients are largely one size fits all. Being able to accurately estimate response to therapy from intra-procedural assessment and serum biomarkers could potentially allow for personalized follow-up schedules. The Interventional Oncology group in Radiology and Radiologic Sciences is collaborating with the BEAM lab to assess patients immediately after chemoembolization with the goal of intra-procedural assessment of a quantitative successful endpoint. As working to combine this imaging data to predict response with serum biomarker information to predict future disease progression, we hope to reduce healthcare expenses used for follow-up imaging for patients with high likelihood of prolonged response and survival.<\/p>\n
