🌟 Wrapping up our Abstracts of the Year series by unveiling the 4th and final "Abstract of the Year" from the @SIRspecialists 2024 Conference, now in @JVIRmedia! All 4 abstracts will be part of the Wednesday March 27th Plenary at SIR2024! Make sure to attend to get the full scoop! #SIR24SLC #SIR2024 Abstract 4 of 4 : "Twenty Years of Radiofrequency Ablation for Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: A Population Study" offers key insights into cancer treatment. 🌟🔬🏥 🎯 Study Purpose: Examining the effectiveness and survival trends of thermoablation in treating intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) over two decades, using data from the SEER database. A crucial look into evolving cancer treatment methods! 🏥📊 🔍 Study Details: ❍ Data Source: SEER database, 2000-2020 ❍ Patients Analyzed: 192 with iCCA ❍ Measures: Overall Survival (OS), with subgroup analysis based on various demographics and tumor characteristics 📊 Key Findings: ❍ Median Overall Survival (mOS): 28 months (95% CI: 22-32 months) ❍ Survival Rates: 1-yr OS 79.3%, 3-yr OS 35.8%, 5-yr OS 19.8% ❍ Improved Survival in Post-2010 Diagnoses (mOS: 32 vs. 21 months) mOS by Disease Stage: Local 37 months, Regional 40 months, Distant 13 months ❍ Tumor Size Impact: ≤3 cm with mOS of 46 months, 3-5 cm with 32 months, >5 cm with 23 months 📌 Conclusion: Thermoablation for iCCA shows significant improvement in patient outcomes, particularly for those diagnosed after 2010 and with smaller tumor sizes. A huge discovery in iCCA management. Thanks to @EndovasClarkY, @TheRealDoctorOs and colleagues for this impactful research! 🙏 @UChicagoIR What potential do you see for thermoablation in iCCA treatment? 🌐 That concludes our series on the "Abstracts of the Year" from the @SIRspecialists 2024 Conference, as featured in @JVIRmedia!
