Agenda
Introduction
The role of treatment guidelines in HCC
does it matter which guideline we use?
Signaling pathways, molecular targets, and
new targeted agents under development in
HCC
Questions and answers, wrap-up, and
evaluation
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should
be better able to:
Describe evidence-based guidelines for the diagnosis, staging, and
management of HCC, with an emphasis on assessing patient comorbidities and concurrent medicines, conducting appropriate
laboratory and imaging work-ups, and developing BCLC algorithmcompliant treatment plans
Identify the key molecular pathways involved in the pathogenesis
of HCC, including the molecular dysregulation attributable to
alcoholic liver disease and the metabolic syndrome
Describe the mechanisms of action underlying the safety and
efficacy of current and emerging targeted treatment options for
advanced HCC
BCLC = Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer.

Global HCC: Every 30 seconds, one person in the world dies from
liver cancer.
> 80% of HCC cases occur in people from sub-Saharan Africa, S-E
Asia and eastern Mediterranean
Recent therapeutic advances and continually updated expert
guidelines have improved the prognosis of HCC from a death
sentence to a cancer that can be detected and treated at an early
stage for good outcomes

Conclusions
Use of evidence-based treatment guidelines improves patient
outcomes.
Molecular targeted therapeutics will play a role in the future of
HCC management.
Sorafenib has established a benchmark for front-line studies.
Great unmet need for patients who are ineligible for, intolerant
