Diagnosis of hilar cholangiocarcinoma and advances in the treatment of unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma

Abstract

Abstract: Hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) has a high incidence in Asia, among which China has one of the highest morbidity and mortality. The early symptoms of HCCA are hidden and the clinical diagnosis is more difficult. Most of the patients are in the late stage and lose the opportunity of operation. For unresectable HCCA, the curative effect of different treatment methods is different. Based on some existing clinical trials, this paper reviews the diagnosis of HCCA and the treatment of unresectable HCCA, in order to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Key words: Hilar cholangiocarcinoma, Diagnosis, Unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma, Treatment
