January 2025
Department of Radiation Oncology, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University (Affiliated Hospital of Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences), Jinan, Shandong, China. Electronic address:
Background: Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare but highly fatal malignancy; numerous studies have demonstrated promising outcomes and survival rates associated with adjuvant photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the palliative treatment of cholangiocarcinoma.
Objective: To systematically evaluate the existing meta-analyses on PDT for cholangiocarcinoma, assessing evidence quality and strength while performing updated meta-analyses to refine survival outcomes.
Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were systematically searched up to September 18, 2024, to identify meta-analyses and clinical studies on PDT in patients with cholangiocarcinoma.

Preoperative factors predicting outcomes in patients with suspected perihilar cholangiocarcinoma referred for curative resection- a single-center 10-year experience.
Langenbecks Arch Surg
December 2024
Department of Surgery and Transplantation, Centre for Cancer and Organ Diseases, Rigshospitalet, 2100, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Purpose: Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) is a rare malignancy requiring resection of extrahepatic bile ducts with or without hepatectomy. Prognostic models for post-operative outcomes in pCCA are unusable in pre-operative decision-making as most are based on post-operative variables. Additionally, no pre-operative models include futile laparotomy or benign hilar stenosis (BHS) as possible outcomes.
