Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is the second most frequent primary liver tumor and defined as the heterogeneous group of tumors derived from cells in the biliary tree.
Methods And Results: Based on the anatomical locations (intrahepatic, perihilar, and distal), there are various approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of CCA. Imaging modalities, staging classifications, understandings around natural behavior of CCA, and therapeutic strategies have had remarkable progress in recent years.
Objectives: Invasive fungal infection following liver transplant is considered as one of the important factors influencing morbidity and mortality among liver transplant recipients. The aim of the present study was to describe the prevalence of invasive fungal infections and their predisposing factors in a singlecenter cohort of patients who received liver transplant.
Materials And Methods: For this study, 250 adult patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplant between March 2010 and March 2015 were enrolled.
