Abstract:
Cholangiocarcinoma is a malignancy of biliary tract and its incidence has been increasing in recent years all over the world.Meanwhile,there have been advances in techniques for its diagnosis and treatment.Some new methods such as PET,endoscopic ultrasonography and scopic CT can promote the diagnostic rate in the early stage and they have been used for diagnosis and staging of tumors.For those patients with large cholangiocarcinoma in the liver,photodynamic therapy is an effective neoadjuvant treatment.For those patients with unresectable cholangiocarcinoma,organ transplantation might be employed. Classification of cholangiocarcinoma and study on its diagnosis are important for disease evaluation in patients with the disease.
