ABSTRACT
Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare disease in the western World, but it comprises a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Its outcome strongly depends on early diagnosis and complete surgical resection. As of today there are no surgical procedures that have proved increase in the survival rate for patients with these types of tumors. Recently, liver transplant appears as a promising alternative reporting a survival rate over 80 percent in 5 years. However, it has been impossible to replicate these results in the majority of the Centers specialized in the management of this disease. The present article shows epidemiological data of the disease, diagnostic methods and options of treatment according to the staging.
RESUMEN
El colangiocarcinoma es una patología infrecuente en el mundo occidental, pero representa un desafío diagnóstico y terapéutico. Su pronóstico es muy dependiente de la precocidad del diagnóstico y la resección quirúrgica completa. Hasta ahora no existen terapias no quirúrgicas que hayan demostrado aumentar la sobrevida para este tipo de tumores. Últimamente, el trasplante de hígado aparece como una alternativa promisoria con reportes de sobrevida por sobre el 80 por ciento a 5 años, sin embargo, estos resultados no han podido ser replicados por la mayoría de los centros con alta experiencia en el manejo de esta enfermedad. En el presente artículo se detallan los antecedentes epidemiológicos de la enfermedad, los métodos diagnósticos y opciones de tratamiento según el estadío.
