RESUMO

Cholangiocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer originating from the bile ducts in the liver, poses a significant challenge for treatment. However, the emergence of precision medicine has brought newfound hope for more effective therapies. Several precision medicine approaches have demonstrated promise in the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma. One such approach is targeted therapy, which involves utilizing drugs that specifically target the genetic mutations or alterations present in the tumor cells. In the case of cholangiocarcinoma, mutations in the IDH1 and IDH2 genes are frequently observed. Immunotherapy is another precision medicine approach being explored for the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma. Immune checkpoint inhibitors like pembrolizumab and nivolumab can be used to bolster the body's immune response against cancer cells. While the response to immunotherapy can vary among individuals, studies have shown promising results, particularly in patients with high levels of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes or microsatellite instability. Moreover, molecular profiling of cholangiocarcinoma tumors can play a crucial role in identifying potential targets for precision medicine. Through advanced next-generation sequencing techniques, specific gene alterations or dysregulations in pathways can be identified, potentially guiding treatment decisions. This personalized approach enables tailored treatment plans based on the unique genetic characteristics of each patient's tumor. In conclusion, the advent of precision medicine has opened up new avenues for the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma. Targeted therapy and immunotherapy have exhibited promising results, and further molecular profiling is expected to uncover additional therapeutic options. Such advancements represent a significant step forward in the quest to enhance outcomes for individuals affected by cholangiocarcinoma.
