Liver disease research and treatment at Molinette Hospital

Overview

Molinette Hospital in Turin is involved in both advanced clinical research and emergency medical interventions regarding liver diseases.

Research published in ‘La radiologia medica’ indicates that personalized therapies, such as SIRT using yttrium-90 microspheres, can improve survival rates for hepatocellular carcinoma patients. The study suggests the ALBI score is a superior predictor of survival compared to traditional systems, and researchers are now integrating artificial intelligence and radiomics to predict treatment efficacy.

In a separate clinical application, the hospital successfully performed an emergency liver transplant on a 28-year-old Greek student suffering from Wilson disease. Following a multi-organ failure in Athens, the patient was transferred to Turin via medical aircraft under an Italy-Greece cooperation protocol. After undergoing a ten-hour surgery and managing post-operative complications, the patient was discharged.
