ABSTRACT
The primary curative modality for hilar cholangiocarcinoma is surgery. Some reports suggest that radical resection may provide the best survival rate for patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma. In resected patients, however, gross or microscopic residual disease is common. Local recurrence is the most common cause of failure and mortality. In the past 10 years, preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative radiotherapy has been used as an adjuvant treatment for these patients. Some studies have proved adjuvant radiotherapy on hilar cholangiocarcinoma may be of value.
