Surgical procedure and long-term survival of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify the influencing factors related to outcome of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma. METHODS From January 1999 to January 2009, 204 cases of hilar cholangiocarcinoma undergoing surgery were analyzed retrospectively. Bismuth-Corlette classification showed type I in 18 patients, type II in 40, type IIIa in 65, type IIIb in 54, type IV in 27. Surv...
متن کاملNon-surgical Therapy for Unresectable Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma
Hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) is characterised by late clinical symptoms. As a consequence, most patients will not undergo surgery, and palliation is the main goal of therapy. For the few patients that undergo potentially curative surgery, the need for preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) continues to be debated and remains controversial, as there are many reports with conflicting results. For...
متن کاملSerum albumin predicts survival in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-producing adenocarcinoma, histologically mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is a distinct entity known as hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC). Reported cases of HAC arising from the esophagus are extremely rare. Due to common liver metastasis and elevated AFP levels in patients with esophageal HAC, differentiation of HAC with liver metastasis from HCC could be challengi...
متن کاملTitle Long-term survival after intraluminal brachytherapy for inoperable hilar cholangiocarcinoma: A case report
Surgical resection with a tumor-free margin is the only curative treatment for hilar cholangiocarcinoma (Klatskin tumor). However, over half of the patients present late with unresectable tumors. Radiotherapy using external beam irradiation or intraluminal brachytherapy (ILBT) has been used to treat unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma with satisfactory outcome. We reported a patient with unre...
