- A consensus meeting of national hepatobiliary experts took place on May 26, 2023, at PKLI & RC, aiming to develop guidelines for managing hilar cholangiocarcinoma (hCCA).
- The meeting emphasized the need for a multidisciplinary approach to manage hCCA effectively, highlighting diagnostic methods like CT and MRI for staging, as well as the importance of surgical resection for potentially curative treatment.
- For patients with unresectable hCCA, options include liver transplantation and palliative chemotherapy, with guidelines suggesting personalized treatment plans based on local discussions.
