Résumé
Hilar cholangiocarcinoma (hCCA) is an infiltrative disease that often presents with locally advanced and/or metastatic disease, with a minority of patients eligible for surgical resection. Select patients with unresectable hCCA, or patients with hCCA in the setting of primary sclerosing cholangitis, with tumors less than 3 cm and no evidence of extrahepatic disease, can be effectively treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by liver transplantation. Staging laparotomy documenting lack of occult metastatic disease, including a portal lymphadenectomy documenting no nodal metastases, is essential to achieve optimal outcomes. Overall 5 year survival among treated patients is approximately 60%.
