The role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiation for localized or potentially resectable cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) has not been well established. We present here the case of a patient with an extrahepatic CCA who achieved a pathologic complete response after undergoing preoperative gemcitabine-based chemotherapy, without sequential or concurrent use of radiation. Further evaluation of neoadjuvant strategies in CCA, including not only combined-modality therapy but also the use of chemotherapy exclusively, is warranted in prospective study design.
局部或潜在可切除的胆管癌(CCA)的新辅助化疗和/或放疗的作用尚未得到充分确立。我们在此介绍了一例肝外 CCA 患者,该患者在接受术前基于吉西他滨的化疗后获得了病理完全缓解,且未序贯或同时使用放疗。前瞻性研究设计需要进一步评估 CCA 的新辅助策略,包括不仅联合治疗模式,还包括单独使用化疗。
