Article Synopsis
- - Cholangiocarcinoma is a severe cancer with a low survival rate, often diagnosed too late for surgical treatment and usually managed with chemotherapy that only offers about a 12-month median survival.
- - A case study involving a 72-year-old man with aggressive metastatic cholangiocarcinoma showcases the use of personalized treatment through tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), starting with sorafenib, which stabilized his condition and improved quality of life for nearly 6 months before switching to Pazopanib.
- - The study highlights the potential benefits of tailoring TKI therapy based on genetic testing of the tumor, suggesting that personalized treatments can extend survival and enhance the patient's quality of life beyond typical chemotherapy outcomes.
