  • Accreditation Information
  • Faculty and Disclosures
Radioembolization is commonly ordered by hepatologists for liver cancer patients but few understand the nuances of the approach, differences between glass beads and resin, dosimetry, and possible complications
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Identify key differences in mechanism of action between radioembolization and chemoembolization
  • Explain dosing of radioembolization such that hepatologists may better communicate with interventionalists
  • Describe key adverse effects more common with radioembolization and approaches to reduce risk
The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases designates this enduring activity for a maximum of .75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
This online educational activity has been planned in accordance with the AASLD Financial Disclosure Policy and ACCME Standards for the Integrity and Independence for Accredited Continuing Education by members of the AASLD Transplant Hepatology Board Review Course faculty, the AASLD Maintenance of Certification Committee and the AASLD Governing Board. As an accredited provider, AASLD must collect information from all planners, faculty and others in the planning and control of continuing medical education (CME) activities to disclose all of their financial relationships with ineligible companies within the prior 24 months. Ineligible companies are those whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. There is no minimum financial threshold; individuals must disclose all financial relationships, regardless of the amount, in ineligible companies. Individuals must disclose financial relationships with ineligible companies regardless of their view of the relevance of the relationship to the education.

The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) has implemented a system to resolve conflicts of interest for each CME activity to help ensure content is objective, fair balanced, independent, and free of commercial bias. Conflicts, if any, are resolved through one or more processes. All relevant conflicts pertaining to this activity have been mitigated.
