   • Minimally Invasive Cancer Treatment: Prof....  

Join us for an insightful interview with Prof. Dr. Atilla Kovács, a leading expert in Interventional Radiology with over 26 years of experience in minimally invasive procedures. Prof. Kovács, Head Physician of Interventional Radiology, delves into the world of Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) and other cutting-edge interventional oncology techniques.

00:00 Intro
01:50 About Prof. Dr. med. Attila Kovács
04:28 What types of TACE are currently used in your clinic (conventional TACE, DEB-TACE, TARE, etc.) and how do they differ in clinical practice?
06:18 For what types of tumors do you think TACE is currently considered the "gold standard" and what are the limitations of this procedure?
07:47 How do you determine which TACE option is best for each individual patient?
09:38 What is the role of imaging modalities (for example, CT, MRI, DSA) in TACE planning and monitoring?
12:07 In what cases do you combine TACE with other local ablative procedures (for example, RFA or MWA) or systemic therapy?
14:57 Based on your experience, what other types of tumors respond well to TACE besides hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)?
16:04 Are there any specific criteria that you use to rule out the possibility of performing TACE for a particular patient?
17:32 How are patients with reduced liver function or portal hypertension who are candidates for TACE treated?
18:48 What is the role of TACE in multimodal treatment regimens? For example, can it be used as a bridge therapy before a liver transplant?
19:43 Do you use TACE in palliative care, and if so, for what purpose?
22:57 Are there any new TACE developments or studies that you find promising?
25:26 What advances do you see in the coming years in the development of embolic microspheres, carriers, or combination therapies?
28:34 Does artificial intelligence or automated image analysis currently play any role in the planning or follow-up of TACE procedures?
29:47 What happens during follow-up after TACE and how is treatment effectiveness assessed?
31:27 What role do you think interventional oncology methods will play in cancer treatment in the long term? Will they complement or replace conventional treatments for certain indications?

In this video, you'll learn:
What TACE is and the different types used in modern oncology (e.g., traditional TACE, DEB-TACE, TARE/SIRT).
Why TACE is considered the "gold standard" for highly vascularized tumors like hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its expanding role in treating other cancers, including colorectal cancer liver metastases.
The critical role of advanced imaging modalities (CT, MRI, DSA) in precisely planning and monitoring TACE, focusing on identifying the crucial "infiltration barrier" around tumors.
How combining TACE with local ablative procedures (RFA, MWA) and systemic therapy dramatically improves patient outcomes, including a fourfold increase in survival for certain colon cancer patients after 8 years.
The essential, yet often overlooked, role of minimally invasive procedures in palliative care—prolonging life and significantly improving the quality of life through symptom and pain management.
Future advancements in the field, including thinner microcatheters, customizable embolic microspheres, and the exciting potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in achieving precise tumor control.

Prof. Kovács shares his passion for pioneering an innovative field of medicine, emphasizing the importance of individualized patient care and continuous research to bring the best possible outcomes to cancer patients.
