Optimizing Liver Cancer Treatment Through Collaboration
In treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the hardest question often isn’t which treatment to use, it’s who should lead, when to transition care, and how to keep every specialty aligned. In this App Exclusive episode of the BackTable Podcast, host Dr. Jon Mizrahi is joined by interventional radiologist Dr. Juan Gimenez and transplant surgeon Dr. Ari Cohen, to discuss the structure and evolution of Ochsner Health’s multidisciplinary tumor board. Through real-world cases, they illustrate how IR, hepatology, and transplant surgery collaborate to tailor treatment plans, coordinate transitions of care, and navigate follow-up challenges for complex HCC patients.
