Guidelines for palliative surgery of cholangiocarcinoma

2008

AbstractThe aims of the guidelines are to help assess the evidence for palliation surgery in patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).

They are based on comprehensive literature surveys, including results from randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews and meta-analysis, and cohort, prospective, and retrospective studies. Intrahepatic CCA, i.e. resection of lymph-node-positive tumors and R1/R2 resections have not been shown to provide survival benefit: Evidence levels: 2b, 4; Recommendation grade C. Hilar CCA: R1 resection is justified as a very efficient palliation…
