The Blue Faery team is officially ASCO-bound.

Some of our team is heading out today, and the rest will be joining us tomorrow. We are packing up, making our way to Chicago, and getting ready for an exciting few days of connection, conversation, and community.

This year feels especially meaningful because American Society of Clinical Oncology attendees will have the chance to meet some of the newest members of the Blue Faery team in person.

If you are attending ASCO, come find us at Booth 10013. Just look for the large blue wings. We would love to meet you, hear about your work, and share more about our mission to support people impacted by liver cancer.

The use of a nurse-led pain management model in patients undergoing transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for liver cancer resulted in the improvement of several post-operative outcomes and fewer postoperative complications, according to a recent retrospective study.

Although other pain management models have been proposed, such as the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERA) protocol, these often require extensive infrastructure or specialized personnel, limiting applicability in interventional oncology departments, according to study researchers.

SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), offering a new option for those with no macrovascular invasion, Child-Pugh A cirrhosis, well-compensated liver function, and good performance status, according to Armeen Mahvash, MD.

The approval was supported by findings from the prospective, multicenter, open-label DOORwaY90 study (NCT04736121), which evaluated Y-90 as first-line therapy for patients with unresectable HCC.

Liver cancer may arise due to long-term issues such as viral hepatitis, fatty liver or heavy alcohol use, but it can often be prevented.

Surprisingly, those diagnosed with liver cancer always say, โ€œthey feel fineโ€. Thatโ€™s because the liver is resilient; it can keep working yet compensate for damage, even when a large part is compromised. Itโ€™s difficult to accept when you feel healthy. This underlines why liver cancer often remains silent for a long time, especially among those with liver conditions or fatty liver disease. That is why regular scans and blood tests in such vulnerable groups make a significant difference.

"I knew my job was to be his goalie for life." ๐Ÿฅ…๐Ÿ’™

In our latest blog post, "The Truth About Liver Cancer," Bonnie Pickard shares the deeply personal journey of her late husband, Warren. As a retired nurse, Bonnie became Warren's fiercest advocateโ€”researching clinical trials, pushing for genomic testing, and navigating the complexities of an HCC diagnosis.

Warren's story is a vital reminder that "mild" initial diagnoses can sometimes hide significant risks and why persistent caregiving is so life-changing. We are honored to share Bonnie's strength and insights with our community.

Novant Health Is First In The Carolinas To Offer Histotripsy For Liver Cancer

Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center in Winston-Salem is the first hospital in the Carolinas to offer histotripsy, a non-invasive method to destroy liver tumors without surgery. The ablation technique uses high-intensity ultrasound waves to shatter tumor cells while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. Patients typically return home on the same day or the day after.

Checkpoint Inhibitors Plus Antiangiogenics In Liver Cancer

In the evolving landscape of cancer therapeutics, a recent retrospective study from Beijing You'an Hospital provides an insightful comparison of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) combined with antiangiogenic agents (AAs) in treating unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) among patients with varying degrees of liver cirrhosis. Recognized as a pivotal treatment approach, ICIs plus AAs have reshaped the first-line systemic therapy for uHCC, yet their efficacy and safety in patients with compromised liver function, particularly Child-Pugh B (CPB) cirrhosis, remain underexplored.

Liver cancer care has just taken a major leap forward at Lee Health. For the first time in Southwest Florida, patients can now access the Edison System, a revolutionary noninvasive technology that destroys liver tumors without a single incision.

Using the power of focused sound waves, this breakthrough histotripsy treatment offers a safer, faster, and more precise alternative to traditional cancer therapies. This technology brings world-class innovation and lifesaving care to residents of Southwest Florida.
