Track 12: Role of biopsy for patients with HCC; incidence of metastatic disease at first diagnosis
Track 13: Activity of atezolizumab/bevacizumab as first-line therapy
Track 14: Tolerability of the atezolizumab/bevacizumab combination
Track 15: Case: A man in his early 70s with metastatic HCC and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis-associated cirrhosis receives lenvatinib
Track 16: Use of immune checkpoint inhibitors for patients with preexisting autoimmune disease
Track 17: Efficacy and safety of lenvatinib in combination with pembrolizumab for patients with unresectable HCC
Track 18: Emerging data with nivolumab/ipilimumab and tremelimumab/durvalumab for advanced HCC
Track 19: Risks and benefits with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 and anti-CTLA-4 combinations versus immune checkpoint inhibitor and anti-angiogenic combinations
Track 20: Therapeutic options for patients with HCC in the second-line setting
Track 21: Case: A man in his early 70s with advanced hepatitis C-associated HCC receives cabozantinib after experiencing disease progression on sorafenib
Track 22: Perspective on the role of immune checkpoint inhibitors alone or in combination with anti-angiogenic therapy after disease progression on sorafenib
Track 23: Clinical experience with and management of tyrosine kinase inhibitor-associated toxicities
Track 24: Case: A woman in her late 70s with metastatic HCC develops myasthenia gravis after treatment with nivolumab
Track 25: Case: A woman in her late 50s with hepatitis B-associated metastatic HCC experiences a delayed response to nivolumab after enrolling in hospice care
Track 26: Delayed responses, pseudoprogression and hyperprogression associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors

Interview with Tim Greten, MD

Track 1: Adjuvant treatment of HCC: Prospect for immunotherapy
Track 2: Immune landscape of the liver and role of the microbiome
Track 3: Ongoing trials evaluating immunotherapy in the (neo)adjuvant setting for patients with HCC
Track 4: Role of immunotherapy and targeted therapy in the management of cholangiocarcinoma
Track 5: Mechanism for the synergy between immune checkpoint inhibitors and anti-angiogenic therapies
Track 6: Perspective on an antibody- versus a tyrosine kinase inhibitor-based approach to targeting VEGF
Track 7: Development of shellfish allergy after exposure to dual immune checkpoint blockade with durvalumab and tremelimumab
Track 8: Spectrum of immune-related adverse events associated with checkpoint inhibitors
Track 9: Background and design of the Phase III IMbrave150 trial
Track 10: Exclusion of patients with bleeding or high risk of bleeding with untreated varices from the IMbrave150 trial
Track 11: IMbrave150: Activity and tolerability of atezolizumab/bevacizumab versus sorafenib
Track 12: Historical response rates with single-agent tyrosine kinase inhibitors or anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies
Track 13: Potential clinical role of atezolizumab/bevacizumab as first-line therapy for patients with advanced HCC
Track 14: Selection and sequencing of therapies for patients with HCC
Track 15: Ongoing investigation of immune checkpoint inhibitor combinations
Track 16: Activity of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with HCC
Track 17: Case: A man in his mid-60s with a history of hepatitis C receives cabozantinib for metastatic HCC after experiencing disease progression on lenvatinib and pembrolizumab
Track 18: Side effects associated with sorafenib and lenvatinib
Track 19: Efficacy and tolerability of pembrolizumab for HCC
Track 20: Approach to first- and second-line treatment for HCC
Track 21: Case: A man in his early 40s with chronic hepatitis B and metastatic HCC has no evidence of disease after treatment with pembrolizumab and surgical resection
Track 22: Case: A man in his mid-40s with uncontrolled hepatitis C develops transaminitis after treatment with sorafenib for HCC
