Join the Oncology Brothers, Drs Rahul and Rohit Gosain, as they host an insightful discussion with Dr Lorenza Rimassa and Prof. Arndt Vogel. In the second of a 4-part podcast series, this episode dives into 2nd line treatment selection in advanced HCC and the key considerations for deciding when to switch therapies.    Topics include:  2nd line options for advanced HCC after 1st line TKIs and IO-based therapies  Sequencing strategies and clinical practice approaches  Key data supporting 2nd line decisions  Factors to consider when transitioning to 2nd line therapy    Key clinical takeaways:   Prospective Phase 3 data on 2nd line options in advanced HCC, particularly after immunotherapy, is limited, highlighting the need for further evidence to guide optimal treatment decisions  When switching to 2nd line therapy, it is essential to evaluate all the available treatment options to ensure the optimal choice for each patient, considering efficacy, tolerability, liver function, and quality of life.  Switching to 2nd line therapy should be considered in cases of clear disease progression, such as the appearance of new lesions outside the liver. Best supportive care should also be considered  Managing side effects of 2nd line treatments (e.g. hypertension, skin toxicity, proteinuria) is critical for maintaining quality of life and providing optimal disease management  Effective management requires a multidisciplinary team effort, including oncologists, hepatologists, interventional radiologists, and other specialists to optimise outcomes and proactively manage symptoms like hepatic decompensation      Prefer to watch the experts in conversation?
