Non-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 کاملPalliative treatment with radiation-emitting metallic stents in unresectable Bismuth type III or IV hilar cholangiocarcinoma
BACKGROUND The emerging data for stenting in combination with brachytherapy in unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma are encouraging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiation-emitting metallic stents (REMS) for unresectable Bismuth type III or IV hilar cholangiocarcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous placement with REMS...
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 کامل[Hilar cholangiocarcinoma].
Cancer of the biliary tree, including those occurring at the major biliary bifurcation (Klatskin's tumor), is an uncommon malignancy. Meaningful experience with these tumors has been limited to a few centers. Recent reports with increasing numbers of patients have allowed the construction of rational approaches to these patients. It is clear from these reports that complete resection with negat...
متن کاملEndoscopic stenting for hilar cholangiocarcinoma: efficacy of unilateral and bilateral placement of plastic and metal stents in a retrospective review of 480 patients
BACKGROUND Endoscopic biliary drainage of hilar cholangiocarcinoma is controversial with respect to the optimal types of stents and the extent of drainage. This study evaluated endoscopic palliation in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma using self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) and plastic stents (PS).We also compared unilateral and bilateral stent placement according to the Bismuth clas...
