March 5, 13:00 - 14:00 CET

3 min
Chairpersons' introduction
15 min
Unique spectrum of liver tumours in the AYAs population: what to expect?
  1. To review the most common benign and malignant liver tumours in adolescents and young adults (AYAs).
  2. To understand age-related differences in tumour biology compared to paediatric and adult populations.
  3. To highlight the role of clinical context and laboratory data in narrowing differential diagnoses.
15 min
Genetic syndromes predisposing to liver tumours in AYAs: what radiologists must know
  1. To review key genetic syndromes associated with liver tumours in adolescents and young adults (e.g. Beckwith-Wiedemann, FAP, Li-Fraumeni, Carney complex).
  2. To describe typical imaging features of liver tumours in these syndromes.
  3. To highlight the importance of recognising imaging patterns that suggest an underlying genetic disorder and prompt referral for genetic counselling.
15 min
When and how to intervene: imaging-guided decision-making
  1. To determine when biopsy or surgical referral is necessary based on imaging findings.
  2. To discuss the role of radiology in treatment planning, including surgery, transplantation, and interventional options.
  3. To explore multidisciplinary collaboration for AYAs' liver tumour management.
