Endoscopic drainage in patients with inoperable hilar cholangiocarcinoma
Hilar cholangiocarcinoma has an extremely poor prognosis and is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage. Palliative management plays an important role in the treatment of patients with inoperable hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Surgical, percutaneous, and endoscopic biliary drainage are three modalities available to resolve obstructive jaundice. Plastic stents were widely used in the past; however, se...

متن کاملOptimal Endoscopic Palliation of Advanced Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma with Metal Stents
Endoscopic biliary stenting is a well-established palliative procedure for treating obstructive jaundice in patients with unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Plastic tube stents (PS) have been widely used for the procedure, but self-expandable metallic stents (SEMSs) are becoming increasingly popular because of the associated longer patency. However, there are several unanswered questions re...
متن کاملMajor hepatic resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma without preoperative biliary drainage.
Hilar cholangiocarcinoma is a rare cancer in western countries but very high incidence in the northeast of Thailand. The only chance to cure is surgical resection. Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) for improving liver function to decrease perioperative morbidity and mortality is claimed to be beneficial.

متن کاملQuality of Life in Patients with Unresectable Complex Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma Receiving Endoscopic Biliary Stent
Background: Most cholangiocarcinoma patients present at an advanced stage of the disease. Palliative treatment options include PTBD and ERCP with biliary stenting. Although quality of life (QOL) is of importantce in terminal or advanced malignancy, a number of studies on palliative ERCP and biliary stenting focus mostly on stent patency and survival, with limited data on QOL outcomes. The prese...
