Inside the award-winning science of SIR 2022 Featured abstracts:
• New targeted ablation technique may improve immunotherapy in liver cancer Immunotherapy has been an exciting development to treat various cancers. Unfortunately, it is not that effective in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) because of the high rates of cirrhosis. But a research team at the MD Anderson Cancer Center has developed a new technique that may improve the effectiveness of immunotherapy in HCC.

• Combination of chemo and TARE used to bridge liver cancer patients to surgery University of Chicago interventional radiologists collaborated with several specialties to combine treatment to improve the prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA).

• Sheep model can improve understanding of GAE Researchers successfully created a sheep model that mimics knee osteoarthritis in humans, which will allow IRs to better understand geniculate artery embolization (GAE).

• Placenta accreta spectrum Intra-operative pelvic embolization may be more effective than internal iliac artery balloon occlusion (IIABO) at reducing blood loss for patients undergoing cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum, according to researchers.

• Radioembolization as first-line treatment for HCC leads to fewer treatments In a large retrospective multicenter Veterans Affairs (VA) trial, patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) initially treated with yttrium-90 (Y-90) radioembolization (TARE) underwent fewer subsequent therapies when compared with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE).
