THE ILCA-CASL COLLABORATION

We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking collaboration between CASL and ILCA (International Liver Cancer Association) at this year’s Single Topic Conference! The International Liver Cancer Association (ILCA) is the only international organization devoted exclusively to liver cancer research for experts from all related disciplines. This partnership aims to strengthen relationships with international liver associations and expand our network.

This year, ILCA is welcoming contributions from Canadian liver cancer experts, putting the spotlight on new synergies to advance our collective understanding of liver cancer.

Highlights of this collaboration is the ILCA – AASLD – CASL Joint Session, featuring a distinguished representative from each association. This session promises to bring together different perspectives and insights on liver cancer treatment and care. We believe that by working together, we can extend the impact of our work worldwide and drive positive change in our field. Stay tuned for more updates on this enriching collaboration!
