Abstract:
Hilar cholangiocarcinoma is a type of malignant tumor of the extrahepatic ductal system.Due to hepatic artery and portal vein involvement within the liver hilum,the resection rate is low and the prognosis is poor.However,with several advances in imaging technology achieved during the last decades,the accuracy of diagnosing and assessing the resectability of hilar cholangiocarcinoma has been greatly improved.In fact,some new classification and staging systems have been proposed to evaluate the tumor.This review will discuss the recent advances in the classification,staging,and preoperative resectability assessment for hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
