Aug 05, 2022: Prof. Dao Viet Hang (Hanoi Medical University), Updated Hepatocellular Carcinoma Managementand Potential Research Directions onHepatocellular Carcinoma Prevention

HCC is a major burden disease in Vietnam, ranking the first in prevalence and mortality of malignancies. Using ultrasound plus biomarker Alpha- fetoprotein (AFP) plays an important role in HCC screening for high-risk populations such as cirrhosis, viral hepatitis,… HCC diagnosis still faces many difficulties due to the heterogeneous quality of diagnostic imaging facilities and many new but difficult-to-access biomarkers. The combination of triple biomarkers AFP, AFP-L3, and PIVAKII is expected to improve the early diagnosis of HCC. Different imaging classifications such as mRECIST, LIRAD, and RECIL are recommended to achieve a standardized and homogenous evaluation of liver tumors. The Barcelona staging helps to select the optimal treatment approach and predict survival time for the patient. HCC prevention strategy requires a multimodal approach: prevention of risk factors, especially hepatitis virus, screening in high-risk populations, and development of techniques for early diagnosis of both new and recurrent cases combining both biomarkers and new technologies in diagnostic imaging.

February 2, 2024: Dr. Khoa D. Doan (Vin Univeristy) Toward Reliable and Practical Machine Learning Applications

While Machine Learning (ML) has rapidly transformed several domains and applications with incredible successes, there are also important areas where the progress is significantly slower. Specifically, there exists a widened complexity gap between the methods currently investigated in research and those used in practice in these areas. One reason is that many algorithms, despite achieving […]
