A few decades ago it was common that experienced hepatologists had a major role in the interpretation of liver biopsy findings; in some cases the liver pathologist was indeed a clinician. The combination of clinical expertise and knowledge in pathology…
After years of stagnation, a paradigm shift has occurred in the therapy of hepatobiliary malignancies: immune-oncology based combinations and new options in the second line revolutionized the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, while biliary cancers - endowed with a…
Steatotic Liver Disease (SLD) is proposed to be the most prevalent liver disease Worldwide due to the close association with the metabolic syndrome and epidemic of obesity and type 2 diabetes. End-stage liver disease, development of hepatocellular carcinoma and increased…
This school will focus on the contribution of gut-liver axis to a range of chronic liver diseases, the growing pertinence of antimicrobial resistance to cirrhosis, and manipulation of the gut microbiome as a novel approach to treatment (using faecal microbiota…
A dedicated clinical school on the use of concepts and skills of evidence-based care to solve controversial real-life problems in the management of cirrhosis. The course will focus on those areas of cirrhosis management where agreement is far from being…
