Case Study of Single-cell Protein Activity Based Drug Prediction for Precision Treatment of Cholangiocarcinoma

TL;DR: A highly generalizable, single-cell framework for the mechanism-based prioritization of drugs to treat rare, highly heterogeneous tumors is introduced and can be generalized to elucidate complementary dependencies of rare, heterogeneity tumors, at the single cell level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a genomic predictive model for cholangiocarcinoma using copy number alteration data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a genomic characterisation of cholangiocarcinoma (CC) tumours and implemented a model to differentiate extrahepatic (ECC) and intrahempatic (ICC) CHolangio-carcinoma, and performed a survival analysis comparing both groups of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatic intra-arterial and systemic chemotherapy followed by maintenance therapy for the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma.

TL;DR: Cholangiocarcinoma patients may benefit from IAHCT-SCHT, and gemcitabine-based maintenance therapy (maintenance) may prolong clinical benefits.

Intrahepatic and Hilar Cholangiocarcinomas: Epidemiology, Basic Principles of Treatment, and Clinical Data

TL;DR: This chapter reviews the epidemiology, risk factors, and pathogenesis of intrahepatic and hilar cholangiocarcinomas, as well as the basic principles of diagnosis, staging, and treatment.

Fibroblasts in cancer

TL;DR: Fibroblasts are a key determinant in the malignant progression of cancer and represent an important target for cancer therapies.

Cisplatin plus Gemcitabine versus Gemcitabine for Biliary Tract Cancer

TL;DR: Cisplatin plus gemcitabine is an appropriate option for the treatment of patients with advanced biliary cancer and was associated with a significant survival advantage without the addition of substantial toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of tumour micro-environment heterogeneity on therapeutic response

TL;DR: The dynamic tumour topography varies drastically even throughout the same lesion, so evaluating tumours as complete organs, and not simply as masses of transformed epithelial cells, becomes paramount.
Journal ArticleDOI

The epidemiology of cholangiocarcinoma.

TL;DR: Some data point to a potential role for chronic liver disease, hepatitis C, and probably hepatitis B infections in the development of ICC, as well as the recent increasing trends of ICC in the United States.
