Neoadjuvant therapy in the treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma: Review of the literature.

TL;DR: The current role of neoadjuvant RCT before resection as well as before OLT is analyzed, with results indicating that for patients meeting the Mayo Clinic criteria, RCT prior to orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) has proved to produce acceptable 5-years survivals.

Circular RNA CDR1as Exerts Oncogenic Properties Partially through Regulating MicroRNA 641 in Cholangiocarcinoma.

TL;DR: CDR1as might exert oncogenic properties, at least partially, by regulating miR-641 in CCA, and could be considered therapeutic targets for CCA.

LncRNA NR-104098 Inhibits AML Proliferation and Induces Differentiation Through Repressing EZH2 Transcription by Interacting With E2F1

TL;DR: It is identified that lncRNA NR-104098 is a suppressor gene that is significantly upregulated in AML cells and its specific mechanism is investigated, leading to deeper insight into the mechanism of ATPR-induced AML differentiation and prevent proliferation by inhibiting EZH2 on the transcriptional level.

Metformin potentiates the anticancer activities of gemcitabine and cisplatin against cholangiocarcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo.

TL;DR: The results presented here indicate that metformin may be a potent agent for enhancing the efficacy of gemcitabine and cisplatin in the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma.

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.

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.

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.
