Abstract:
Hilar cholangiocarcinoma is a malignant disease in the main left or right hepatic ducts,ductus hepaticus communis or their confluence.The treatment for hilar cholangiocarcinoma remains a challenge because of the aggressive nature of the disease and the absence of effective treatments besides surgical resection.Hilar cholangiocarcinoma is diagnosed by its clinical manifestations,tumor markers and results of imaging studies.Problems as the necessity of preoperative hepatic bile drainage and decision making of proper treatment remain controversial.Here,we will review the current advances in the management of hilar cholangiocarcinoma,so as to provide theoretical basis and new ideas for clinical treatment.
