- Abstract: Biliary tract carcinoma (BTC) is a type of gastrointestinal tumor with a low incidence rate and a strong invasive ability, mainly including intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ECC), and gallbladder carcinoma (GC), often accompanied by local progression or distant metastasis. Surgery is often the preferred treatment method for patients with local resectable tumor; however, there is still a high risk of recurrence after radical surgery. Therefore, multiple treatment modalities are often required for BTC patients, including surgical resection, systemic treatment (such as targeted therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy), and/or a combination of local treatment methods. With the development of the field of BTC, it is critical for surgical oncologists to understand and master the latest surgical strategies and the best patient selection and management systems. In view of the complexity of treatment and the continuous development of diagnosis and treatment techniques, Annals of Surgical Oncology, an authoritative American journal of cancer surgery, recently published the practical diagnosis and treatment guidelines for hepatobiliary tumors, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), ICC, ECC, and GC, aiming to provide more evidence-based evidence for the clinical management and decision-making of patients with hepatobiliary tumors. Due to the limitations of length and different emphases, this article mainly introduces the recommendations for the evaluation points and clinical treatment of ECC and GC in the guidelines, so as to provide a reference for clinical practice.
