Drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) is a relatively new treatment method that uses drug-eluting microbeads to target tumours. It is essential for interventional radiologists to learn the indications, patient selection, procedural techniques, and the associated pros and cons of DEB-TACE treatment. Despite its well-known and proven clinical indication and efficacy, significant debate still persists regarding the most effective use of DEB-TACE, including its comparative efficacy to other techniques (cTACE, bland embolization), optimal embolic particle sizes, tumour staging considerations, potential complications, and overall therapeutic advantages. This webinar will provide participants with a thorough understanding of how to safely and effectively perform DEB-TACE for treating HCC and mCRC, along with insights into its evolving role in the future. During the case discussions, attendees will learn tips and tricks so that they can avoid potential complications and improve the treatment’s clinical value. Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in dynamic, interactive discussions based on real-world clinical experiences.Learning objectivesTo learn how to perform safe and effective DEB-TACE by real case examples.To understand patient selection on DEB-TACE for HCC and colorectal metastases.To understand the role of DEB-TACE in the current landscape of liver-directed locoregional therapies.ProgrammeIntroduction by the moderatorsRoberto Iezzi (Rome/IT) and Thomas Kröncke (Augsburg/DE)Role of DEB-TACE in HCCTobias Jakobs (Munich/DE)Role of DEB-TACE in mCRCGeert Maleux (Leuven/BE)Future of DEB-TACEThomas Helmsberger (Munich/DE)Discussion and Q&ATake-home points by the moderatorsRoberto Iezzi (Rome/IT) and Thomas Kröncke (Augsburg/DE)CME AccreditationThe CIRSE Webinar “DEB-TACE: Current standards in drug-eluting therapy for liver malignancies”, Vienna (ONLINE), Austria, 30/04/2025-30/04/2025 has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 1.5 European CME credits (ECMEC®s).

This webinar will build on a recent webinar Emerging Minds produced in partnership with the Mental Health Professionals’ Network – Understanding and responding to childhood suicidal ideation. Although not essential, you may find it helpful to view the recording before attending this webinar.Suicidal ideation refers to thoughts about endings one’s life. These thoughts can be once-off or reoccurring. Childhood suicidal ideation is a growing public health issue in Australia. In 2023, Kids Helpline reported that suicide-related concerns was the third most common reason a child or young person (5-18 years) reached out to the service, accounting for 17% of service contacts. Although most suicide-related counselling contact is from 15 to 18 year olds, an increasing number of younger children, some as young as 7, are seeking suicide-related support.Although suicidal ideation does not mean a child will take their own life, it can be extremely distressing for the child and their family. Childhood suicidal ideation is a complex issue and one that practitioners are increasingly encountering in their work.Using a case scenario – a hypothetical situation used for educational purposes – panellists will reflect on some of the ethical considerations that practitioners need to consider when responding to children and families and provide practical strategies to help practitioners better understand and support children experiencing suicidal ideation.The webinar will discuss how practitioners can foster connection, seek the child’s insights, and recognise the child’s and the families’ strength.This webinar will give you:a better understanding of the experiences of distress and despair that can lead to childhood suicidal ideationinsight into the ethical considerations that need to be considered when responding to childhood suicidal ideationan understanding of how to apply a collaborative and curious approach to support connection and understanding between the child and their familyinsight into how to recognise and highlight children’s ideas, values and skills in managing their challengesThis webinar will be of interest to practitioners working with children and families.This webinar is co-produced by CFCA and Emerging Minds in a series focusing on children’s mental health. They are working together as part of the Emerging Minds: National Workforce Centre for Child Mental Health, which is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care under the National Support for Child and Youth Mental Health Program.Presenters: David Newman, Dr. Lyn O’Grady, Arianne Coad, Amanda Kemperman.

The Access to Medicine Foundation is co-hosting a webinar on the 2024 Access to Medicine Index with Medicines Patent Pool (MPP) and the Ecumenical Pharmaceutical Network (EPN). The session will offer insights into industry trends, company-specific performances, and discuss strategies to enhance access to essential medicines in low- and middle-income countries.Access to medicine in sub-Saharan Africa remains a critical issue, with numerous barriers hindering equitable healthcare. The high cost of essential medicines is one of the main challenges in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), creating a gap between the availability of these medicines and people's ability to afford them. To address this disparity and strengthen their collective efforts, the Access to Medicine Foundation, Medicines Patent Pool (MPP), and the Ecumenical Pharmaceutical Network (EPN) are partnering to host a joint webinar. The webinar will share key findings from the 2024 Access to Medicine Index and provide expert perspectives on the evolving landscape of access to medicine. During the webinar, the Foundation’s team will present detailed findings from the 2024 Index, including industry trends and company-specific performance. The team will emphasise the Index’s importance as a tool for accountability in the pharmaceutical sector. Following the presentation, the team will also engage in panel discussion and Q&A session, helping fellow attendees to delve deeper into the implications of the 2024 Index findings and exchange insights on the opportunities and challenges pharmaceutical companies face in advancing health equity and access in LMICs.
