Overview
Surgery
Surgical exploration may be necessary to obtain a suitable biopsy and to accurately stage a patient with cholangiocarcinoma. Laparoscopy can be used for staging purposes and may avoid the need for a more invasive surgical procedure, such as laparotomy, in some patients.[1][2] Surgery is also the only curative option for cholangiocarcinoma, although it is limited to patients with early-stage disease (see below).
Liver Transplant
Adjuvant therapy followed by liver transplantation may have a role in treatment of certain unresectable cases.[3]
