Let's talk liver masses

07/20/23 • 31 min

Liver masses or lesions are increasingly being identified incidentally during imaging tests and through bloodwork for unrelated conditions. While most are benign, many are complex making them difficult to accurately diagnose and treat. That’s why it’s important to see a specialist who can determine the specific type and nature of the lesion as the most appropriate treatment can vary greatly. During this podcast, Dr. Abhinav Sankineni, an interventional gastroenterologist, and Dr. Edward McCarron, a surgical oncologist, who both practice at MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center, discuss liver masses ...what they are and how they are diagnosed and treated.

Hope for Kienbock's disease: the mysterious wrist condition

Send us a text

Kienbock’s disease, a debilitating condition where a wrist bone collapses and dies, has no known cause.
Typically affecting young men in their teens or twenties, untreated Kienbock’s disease can result in progressive arthritis in the wrist and loss of function. For no clear reason, the lunate, one of eight small bones in the wrist, loses blood supply and the bone collapses. But how common is this extremely painful disease? And how can it be treated?
On this episode of DocTalk, the chief of the Curtis National Hand Center, James Higgins, MD, explains this condition and vascularized bone transfer - the microscopic procedure he pioneered for its treatment. Learn more about the symptoms and progression of Keinbock’s disease, and how bone, cartilage, and blood vessels are affected.
Dr. Higgins sees patients at the Curtis National Hand Center at MedStar Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.
