๐ŸŽ‰ Congratulations to Prof Pierce Chow on co-authoring a new study examining the evolving landscape of surgical treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology! ๐Ÿ‘ With HCC recurrence rates approaching 70% at 5 years post-surgery, the review highlights a critical shift needed in patient care. Rather than relying on static staging criteria, the authors advocate for precision treatment strategies.

๐Ÿ”ฌ Key insights informed by research @ NCCS: Traditional anatomical criteria for surgery are being replaced by frameworks that incorporate tumour markers, immune profiling and functional imaging to better assess risk and optimise outcomes & the concept of "biological resectability" is proving to be a more accurate predictor of surgical success than tumour size or number alone.

๐ŸŽฏ Key message: Best to move beyond one-size-fits-all approaches, and harness precision oncology that integrates tumour genomics, immune phenotypes, and individual biological risk factors to truly personalise clinical decisions for HCC patients.

From December 2026, eligible Singaporeans and PRs can receive up to 70 per cent in subsidies for HBOC genetic tests. Additionally, MediShield Life and MediSave will be extended to cover risk-reducing surgeries for HBOC later this year. This is a great boost for preventive care to facilitate early detection and allow those who test positive for HBOC to take proactive steps!
