Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for initially unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

Abstract: Patients with locally advanced ICC treated by surgery following neoadjuvant chemotherapy had similar short- and long-term results to patients with initially resectable ICC who had surgery alone. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for locally advanced ICC may be an effective downstaging option, facilitating secondary resectability in patients with initially unresectable disease.

“…The early combination of different treatment modalities has been proposed to be beneficial for aggressive variants of ICC [ 4 ]. However, the longer the time of diagnosis is delayed, the more likely the ICC lesion will undergo a loco-regional extension around the adjacent normal tissues, thus resulting in a poor prognosis [ 5 ]. Identifying prognostic factors for ICC is therefore critical for the development of effective treatments for ICC.…”

“…The incidence of ICC has been increasing worldwide . While there have been advancements in the nonoperative management of ICC, surgical resection remains the only potentially curative treatment strategy . For select patients who undergo curative‐intent surgery, OS generally remains poor with nearly two‐thirds of patients recurring soon after surgery .…”
