 | | The incidence of cholangiocarcinomas in patients with ulcerative colitis is 0.4-1.4%, with a latent period of 15 y.) | | | Cholangiocarcinoma is very responsive to local radiation therapy. | | | Furthermore, determination of the preferred examination is complex in the presence of a predisposing condition such as primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). |

| | The only therapy with any chance of curing intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is complete surgical removal of the cancer. | | | Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is an aggressive cancer that has often spread beyond the original location to other sites in the body before the diagnosis is made. | | | Unfortunately, no studies have demonstrated that chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy extends life in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. |

| | Decorin staining was not correlated with aggressive behavior of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, whereas intratumoral tenascin staining was correlated with lymphatic permeation and proliferative activity measured by Ki67. | | | Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma remains a dismal disease with only a 22.5% chance of a curative surgical resection, achieving a 5-year survival rate of 44.4%. | | | MUC2 was rarely expressed in pancreatic ductal carcinoma (1 of 46, 2%) and was negative in the ampullary carcinoma of pancreatobiliary origin and in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. |

| | Better Outcomes with Liver Transplant for Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma Patients |
| | Hilar cholangiocarcinoma may be treated by surgical removal of the cancer (resection) in some patients. | | | For patients with localized, node-negative hilar cholangiocarcinoma, liver transplantation preceded by radiation and chemotherapy may be an alternative to surgical resection, according to a study published in the Annals of Surgery. | | | Liver transplantation may be an alternative to resection for some patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma. |
