- 51% with access to EGFR testing and EGFR TKI
Despite life-saving and availability of biosimilars and generics.”

‘Fighting Cancer with Robots and Lasers’
Emerging techniques in surgery and RT to improve outcomes and reduce morbidity/mortality.”

Neoadjuvant radiotherapy downstages HCC to allow resection and lower recurrence rates.
Liver RT allows for debulking, and immune-microenvironment remodelling to increase response to systemic immunotherapy.
Combination strategy trials coming.”
