| Abstract: | Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common primary liver cancer behind hepatocellular cancer. Although it is an uncommon malignancy, several reports have documented a significant rise in incidence, not only in the United States, but worldwide over the last several decades. As a result, interest in understanding the presentation, diagnosis, natural history, and efficacy of various treatment modalities has increased. This article reviews the clinical presentation, preoperative work-up, surgical management, and outcomes of patients undergoing resection for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Treatment options in unresectable patients are also reviewed. © 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. |
