Progress in diagnosis and surgical treatment of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma.
Gastroenterología y Hepatología 2019 April
Cholangiocarcinomas are heterogeneous biliary tract tumors that cause devastating disease. Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC) is the most common type of biliary tract cancer and are associated with a high mortality. Diagnoses of PHC depend on the results of its clinical presentation, serum biomarkers and imaging techniques. Pre-operative managements including pre-operative biliary drainage (PBD) and portal vein embolization (PVE) could reduce mortality. The best chance of long-term survival and potential cure is surgical resection with negative surgical margin. Lymph node metastasis over N2 nodes precludes long-term survival. The benefit of concomitant vascular resection remains uncertain. Liver transplantation combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy with radiotherapy is a promising option in highly selected patients with unresectable tumors. Herein, an overview is provided of developments in diagnosis, peri-operative management and surgical treatment among patients with PHCs.
