Preoperative staging of cholangiocarcinoma and biliary carcinoma using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography: A meta-analysis

TL;DR: 18F-FDG-PET and PET/CT were found to be accurate in the evaluation of primary tumors, lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis in patients with CCA.

Autocrine and Paracrine Mechanisms Promoting Chemoresistance in Cholangiocarcinoma.

TL;DR: It is concluded that improved understanding of the complex interplay between apoptosis signaling and the promotion of cell survival represent potentially productive areas for active investigation, with the ultimate aim of encouraging future studies to unveil new, effective strategies able to overcome current limitations on treatment.

Histone deacetylase 3 overexpression in human cholangiocarcinoma and promotion of cell growth via apoptosis inhibition.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that MI192 targets HDAC3 and induces apoptosis in human CCA cells, and shows the potential as a new drug candidate for CCA therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Application of Immunohistochemistry in Gastrointestinal and Liver Neoplasms: New Markers and Evolving Practice

TL;DR: Assessment of predictive and prognostic markers by immunohistochemistry in routine pathologic diagnosis is a new trend and will greatly facilitate the advancement of personalized cancer therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

The interaction of LOXL2 with GATA6 induces VEGFA expression and angiogenesis in cholangiocarcinoma.

TL;DR: The GATA6/LOXL2 complex represents a novel candidate prognostic marker for stratifying patients with CCA and drugs targeting this complex may possess great therapeutic value in the treatment of CCA.

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.
