| Article Title: | Surgical management of proximal bile duct cancers |
| Abstract: | Introduction: Tumors arising from the proximal biliary tree remain particularly challenging with respect to their evaluation and treatment. Complete resection with negative histologic margins is the most effective treatment modality. Results: However, the majority of patients are not candidates for surgery. Summary: Over the last decades, advances have evolved to improve resectability and morbidity after major liver and bile duct resection. However, these disease processes still pose a management challenge. Herein, we provide an overview of proximal bile duct cancers, hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCa) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICCa). © 2012 Springer-Verlag. |
