"The primary safety and primary efficacy endpoints—which were preset in consideration with the FDA and all the societies—were met. You look at what we did, what we said, and using those definitions, filters are safe and effective."—Matthew S. Johnson, MD, FSIR, PRESERVE Principal InvestigatorHost Warren Krackov, MD, FSIR, speaks with PRESERVE (Predicting the Safety and Effectiveness of Inferior Vena Cava Filters) Trial Principal Investigator Matthew S. Johnson, MD, FSIR, about the lessons learned from the trial's initial data, his collaboration with vascular surgery and others in the study, and more.

Brodie Thomas, a project placement helping to facilitate NatureScot's use of genetic technologies, explains what Environmental DNA is, and how this non-invasive sampling technique can monitor wildlife and help build up a detailed image of what lives where. She explains the pros and cons of the technique, how it's being used to detect the presence of invasive non-native species, and the potential use of eDNA to help tackle nature loss and climate change.

If you think, "You know, I do what other people do but I do it a little bit better," you really should know whether that is indeed the case. So , do I really do my procedure with the best efficiency? the lowest cost? the lowest radiation? the lowest contrast dose? That's the idea. Be armed with data." —Matthew S. Johnson, MD, FSIRGuest host Jaimin Shah, MD, speaks with Raj Shah, MD, FSIR, and Matthew S. Johnson, MD, FSIR, about how participating in the VIRTEX Data Registry helps interventional radiologists demonstrate their value, improve patient care and strengthen the specialty.

Go online to PeerView.com/DCZ860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. With several available treatment modalities, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) requires a multidisciplinary approach that is based on disease stage and patient factors. The role of the interventional radiologist, always vital in managing intermediate-stage disease via locoregional approaches, has become increasingly more important in the treatment of advanced-stage disease, as oncologists, interventional radiologists, and transplant hepatologists work together to improve patient outcomes. Join PeerView's multidisciplinary team of liver cancer experts for an in-depth analysis of the latest data on approved and emerging systemic treatment options for HCC and recent evidence on locoregional and multimodal approaches in various treatment settings. Through an engaging “tumor board” discussion, the expert panel will draw upon their clinical experience to provide guidance on optimal selection and transition between locoregional and systemic therapies, with a focus on guideline recommendations, underlying liver disease, biomarker information, and other patient-related factors. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Describe the safety and efficacy of available systemic treatment options, including multikinase inhibitors, anti-angiogenic agents, and checkpoint inhibitors alone and in combinations, across multiple lines of therapy for patients with advanced HCC, Review the latest evidence and ongoing trials on established and emerging combination approaches (eg, dual immune checkpoint blockade, immunotherapy plus targeted therapy, systemic agents plus locoregional therapy) for patients with intermediate- and advanced-stage HCC, Develop safe and effective multidisciplinary treatment plans for patients with intermediate- and advanced-stage HCC that are based on expert guidance, available evidence, underlying liver disease factors, biomarker information, and recommendations on timely transitions from locoregional to systemic options.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a complex liver malignancy for which a variety of treatment modalities, based on disease stage and patient factors, are available. Traditionally, interventional radiologists (IR) have had a key role in managing intermediate-stage disease through the use of locoregional approaches, while oncologists have employed systemic therapy in the realm of advanced-stage disease. However, an improved understanding of HCC pathology has led to the realization that optimal approaches to selecting, combining, sequencing, and transitioning between different modalities has the potential to improve outcomes across disease settings, underscoring the importance of a multidisciplinary team-based approach to HCC management. As approvals for new drugs (eg, TKIs, antiangiogenic agents, immunotherapy, combinations) and positive clinical trial outcomes with novel multimodal strategies continue to impact the HCC treatment paradigm, clinical decision-making has become complicated, with many questions arising about optimal approaches to administering various therapies to the appropriate patient in a timely manner within a team-based care model. In this CME-certified online activity, a multidisciplinary panel of interventional radiology, hepatology, and oncology experts offers insights on how to navigate the intermediate- to advanced-stage HCC landscape in an era of evolving treatment—from use of modern IR approaches to newer systemic therapies and combination strategies—to provide the most benefit for patients with HCC. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Review pivotal clinical evidence on newly available systemic treatment options, including multikinase inhibitors, antiangiogenic agents, and checkpoint inhibitors, for newly diagnosed and previously treated patients with advanced HCC, Examine the potential role of combination systemic therapy approaches (eg, dual immune checkpoint blockade, immunotherapy plus targeted therapy) for advanced HCC, Assess emerging evidence on novel multimodal approaches for intermediate- and advanced-stage HCC, Develop optimal multidisciplinary treatment plans based on available evidence, patient- and disease-related factors, and recommendations on timely transitions from locoregional to systemic options for patients with intermediate or advanced HCC.

You don't just put a filter in and forget about it—but that's what used to happen. And when you put a filter in, it's like anything else. We are clinical physicians in IR and vascular surgery, and when we put these filters in your patient, you need to follow them. That means clinical follow-up, and it may mean imaging follow-up. —Matthew S. Johnson, MD, FSIRWarren Krackov, MD, FSIR, speaks with interventional radiologist Matthew S. Johnson, MD, FSIR, about the evolution of IVC filters, the upcoming IVC filter clinical practice guidelines, and the status of the FDA-requested PRESERVE Study.
