Establishing the North Queensland Liver Tumour Library: improving HCC detection and treatment
Townsville Hospital and Health Service
Role
Chief Investigator
Description
The diagnosis and treatment of HCC in RRR patients is poor. To overcome this, we intend to diagnose earlier and provide better treatments. This application will address this by: (i) utilising a novel liquid biopsy technique to detect HCC in RRR patients, and (ii) trial a novel pre-clinical model to better treat HCC. Our approach may improve the standard of care for HCC RRR patients. A positive liquid biopsy may direct earlier treatment options, and success in the trialing of new therapeutics may offer patients new therapy choices.
