Hilar cholangiocarcinoma refers to a kind of malignancy in the ductuli hepaticus communis and the main left or right hepatic duct or their confluence.It is hard to be found in the early stage because of insidious onset and is liable to invade surrounding blood vessels,nerves,lymph nodes.Hence it has a poor prognosis.In recent years,with the in-depth research as well as the development of imageology and methods of treatment,considerable achievements have been made in treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.At present,the treatment methods include surgical resection,liver transplantation,palliative biliary drainage,radiotherapy,chemotherapy,photodynamic therapy and targeted therapy,etc.Surgical resection remains the only curative treatment option.This article reviews the research progress in treatment of HC in order to provide the reference for selection of the optimal treatment program.
