Surgical resection with a tumor-free margin is the only curative treatment for hilar cholangiocarcinoma (Klatskin tumor). However, over half of the patients present late with unresectable tumors. Radiotherapy using external beam irradiation or intraluminal brachytherapy (ILBT) has been used to treat unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma with satisfactory outcome. We reported a patient with unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma surviving more than 6 years after combined external beam irradiation and ILBT.
实现切缘无肿瘤的手术切除是肝门部胆管癌(Klatskin瘤)唯一的治愈性治疗方法。然而,超过半数的患者就诊时已处于晚期,肿瘤无法切除。使用外照射放疗或腔内近距离放疗(ILBT)的放射治疗已被用于治疗无法切除的肝门部胆管癌,疗效令人满意。我们报告了1例无法切除的肝门部胆管癌患者,在接受外照射放疗和ILBT联合治疗后存活超过6年。
