AASLD HIGHLIGHTS
AASLD is the leading organization of scientists and health care professionals committed to preventing and curing liver disease.
Invited Sessions and Clinical Symposia
Sunday, May 7 • 8–9:30 a.m.
The best abstracts in basic and clinical hepatology will be presented at these highly focused sessions, with robust Q&A periods. Attendees will learn about the latest advancements in hepatology to ensure they are abreast of the most cutting-edge science.
Clinical Symposia: Deciphering the Alphabet Soup of Noninvasive Tests for Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Saturday, May 6 • 10–11:30 a.m.
The goal of this program is to educate providers on the real-world application of noninvasive assessments of liver fibrosis. Who, what, when and why?
Hepatology for Gastroenterologists Symposium
Monday, May 8 • 8–9:30 a.m.
Calling all gastroenterologists with an interest in hepatology! This is a symposium you can’t afford to miss. Participants will explore fundamental knowledge and skills necessary in the practice of hepatology and learn about the latest innovations in treatment options from advanced hepatology practitioners.
Clinical Practice Workshop: Contemporary Hepatology for Gastroenterologists
Monday, May 8 • 2–3:30 p.m.
This workshop will focus on the challenges in the management of patients where there is a paucity of evidence-based data or the critical appraisal of our current knowledge base. Topics to be discussed include current guidelines on the management of iron overload, the management of hepatitis D and treatment options for recurrent HCC after liver transplantation.
Review of Practice Guidelines
Monday, May 8 • 4–5:30 p.m.
Participants will review best practices presented in recently finalized or published AASLD practice guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with NAFLD or acute-on-chronic liver failure and patients in the critical care setting with portal hypertension or varices and variceal hemorrhage in cirrhosis. Guidance statements on the care of patients will be highlighted and discussed. Choosing appropriate treatments remains a challenge for patients with these chronic liver diseases, and the implementation of up-to-date guidance can positively affect treatment decisions and patient outcomes.
Hepatology Skills Workshops
Saturday, May 6 • 8–11:30 a.m.
Join us for these engaging and interactive workshops that focus on building the skills needed for a successful career in hepatology. These sessions are appropriate for trainees and other early career professionals seeking to broaden their skills in hepatology.
Workshop 1: FibroScan
Saturday, May 6 • 8–9:30 a.m.
Workshop 2: Motivational Interviewing
Saturday, May 6 • 10–11:30 a.m.
Liver Transplant for Malignancies: HCC and Beyond
Sunday, May 7 • 8–9:30 a.m.
This session will highlight advances in the utilization of total hepatectomy and liver transplantation for the treatment of nonhepatocellular primary liver cancers and select metastatic malignancies. Lectures will focus on patient selection, neoadjuvant therapy, surgical approaches and clinical outcomes. The ethics of allocation of cadaveric organs and living donation will be explored.
Multidisciplinary Approaches to Liver Tumors in Action
Sunday, May 7 • 4–5:30 p.m.
Optimization of hepatocellular carcinoma therapy requires multidisciplinary input with regard to treatment options tailored to the nuances of an individual patient’s clinical situation, functional status and preferences. Multiple models of delivering this care could be considered, but the relative merits of various approaches are relatively unexplored. This session will present various models for multidisciplinary liver cancer care, highlighting strengths, weaknesses and barriers to implementation or sustainability.
Primary Prevention and Early Detection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Best Practices in 2023
Tuesday, May 9 • 8–9:30 a.m.
This session will discuss best practices for primary and secondary prevention of HCC — two steps in the cancer care continuum that can most efficiently reduce HCC-related mortality. We will discuss current evidence-based approaches for both steps, including the at-risk population in whom they should be implemented, and recommendations from the recent update to the AASLD HCC Guidance document. We will also discuss the status of emerging promising strategies and what data are needed before routine use in clinical practice or adoption into future guidelines.
Trainee Programming
Sunday, May 7 • 4–5:30 p.m.
This session is designed to demonstrate the “art” behind the science of working through differential diagnosis for unknown cases. Through live interactions with the case presenters, hepatology experts will work through interesting and challenging cases and speak out loud their thought process as the case unfolds. During the process, participants will be able to witness how experts in the field, using their knowledge base, break down and narrow their differential diagnosis.
