THE HISTORY OF APPLE

The Asia-Pacific Primary Liver Cancer Expert (APPLE) Association was established in 2013.

The main objective of the association is to promote the scientific advancement of and education in liver cancer management in the Asia-Pacific region, where 80% of global liver cancer deaths occur, including the exchange of information and the development of consensus in the field of liver cancer.
The APPLE convened for the first time in 2010 and was attended by professionals who have abundant clinical experience in medical treatment of liver cancer in the Asia Pacific region. It was our hope that this meeting would be of substantial help to liver cancer treatments through the exchange of their clinical experience and knowledge. At the same time, by inviting internationally renowned experts in the field of liver cancer, we intended to determine the procedure for officially and internationally recognizing the treatment presently being practiced at clinics in the Asia Pacific region. We also sought to introduce new clinical studies now in progress in the field of liver cancer to overcome the problems yet unsolved and join forces with them to explore new roads.
