Article Synopsis
  • Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) patients in Southern Thailand exhibit late-stage diagnoses, with 59.4% diagnosed at TMN stage IV, and the overall median survival is only 5-6 months.
  • The study reviewed 223 CCA patients between 2018 and 2021, identifying that intrahepatic CCA (iCCA) was the most common subtype (49.3%), and only 15.1% of patients were considered resectable.
  • Key factors affecting survival included TMN stage, with a higher risk of mortality linked to late-stage diagnosis, while systemic chemotherapy and palliative biliary drainage improved outcomes for unresectable patients.

Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to use a two-photon microscope excitation Airy beam to create detailed 3D images of intrahepatic bile ducts in mice with bile duct ligation (BDL) and human patients with biliary atresia (BA).
  • Ten BDL mice showed symptoms like jaundice and weight loss, with liver tissues sampled after 10 days, while 16 BA patients underwent either liver transplantation or Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE).
  • The imaging revealed significant bile duct widening and hyperplasia in BDL mice and disorganized bile ducts in BA patients, particularly those who had liver transplants.

Introduction: Biliary tract cancers (BTC) are rare and aggressive neoplasms. The current management of locally advanced or unresectable BTC is primarily based on chemotherapy (CHT) alone, linked to a median overall survival (OS) of approximately 12 months. However, international guidelines still consider concurrent chemoradiation (CRT) as an alternative treatment option.

Correlation between liver volume drainage and clinical success after endoscopic biliary drainage of hilar malignant obstruction.

Clinics (Sao Paulo)

December 2024

Division of Endoscopy, Instituto do Câncer do Estado de São Paulo, São Paulo, SP, Brazil; Department of Gastroenterology of Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.

Background And Aim: Malignant hilar obstruction usually presents in advanced-stage disease with a poor prognosis. Effective biliary drainage is essential for the beginning of palliative chemotherapy. There is a debate on the amount of liver parenchyma that should be drained to achieve clinical success.
