Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a relatively rare tumor arising from the biliary tract epithelium. Deeply heterogeneous in morphology, location, and clinical impact, CCA’s incidence and mortality have progressively increased in the past decades, with little progress on the therapeutic end, leading to a dismally low incidence-to-mortality ratio. Given the recent surge in research on CCA, the Special Ossue aims to cover the currently most challenging topics, ranging from basic and translational research to diagnosis, therapy, and management of advanced disease. The current issue is focused on bench-to-bedside translation and clinical applicability of the matters analyzed, aiming to expand on topics such as challenges in the diagnosis of perihilar CCA, the role of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in the diagnosis of intrahepatic CCA, the challenges of borderline resectability in surgical management, the role of locoregional therapy in intrahepatic CCA, the potential advent of novel systemic therapies, or the management of challenges in advanced cholangiocarcinoma.
