Biliary Track Cancer Retrospective Analysis of Last 10 Years

Abstract

Surgical resection could offer the only chance of a long-term survival for biliary tract cancer. In fact, only a small number of these patients can undergo surgery with curative intent. The majority receive palliative chemotherapy or other systemic treatments. In patients with localized disease the only treatment is a complete resection. We present herein our experience with 33 patients the last 10 years and summarize the surgical strategies and prognostic factors focusing on the role of surgical resection.
