 | Advanced Liver Disease Resource Training ProgramWashington DC, June 18-20, 2007 | | |
The 2007 Advanced Liver Disease Resource Program was sponsored by the VA Hepatitis C Resource Centers (HCRC) Program, in collaboration with the VA National Clinical Public Health Programs and the VA Transplant Program.
The program focused on hands-on use of current advanced liver disease resources and direct interaction with advanced liver disease experts. It emphasized: 1) early detection and intervention in patients with cirrhosis and the optimization of its management, especially in centers with limited resources to address cirrhosis; 2) support in the screening and management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); and 3) treatment for persons who may undertake the liver transplant process.
Some of the case studies presented during the program are now available on the website.
