Colorectal liver metastasis develops in 50% of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer, whereas concurrent intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and colorectal liver metastases is extremely rare.A 72-year-old man was referred to our hospital complaining Thirteen patients with bile duct cancer (excluding gallbladder) and associated chronic ulcerative colitis (CUC) were seen at the Mayo Clinic from 1935 through 1973. Most patients had initial symptoms of severe diarrhea and bleeding, followed by a pattern of mild-to-moderate disease with
We treated a patient with advanced cholangiocarcinoma with a new combination chemotherapy (modified MQF). The regimen consisted of intra-arterial administration of MMC (20 mg/body) and CQ (4 mg/body), protracted continuous infusion of 5-FU (500 mg/body) and intravenous administration of low-dose
The authors evaluated the activity and toxicity of docetaxel given as a 1-hour infusion every 21 days in patients with unresectable cholangiocarcinoma. Seventeen patients with cytologically or histologically confirmed cholangiocarcinoma received intravenous docetaxel over 1 hour, repeated every 21
BACKGROUND
The prognosis of pancreaticobiliary tumors is poor. The aim was to assess the feasibility of radiotherapy (RT) and concomitant gemcitabine and oxaliplatin in locally advanced pancreatic cancer and distal cholangiocarcinoma.
METHODS
Twenty-two patients with locally advanced pancreatic (n =
Combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (CHC) is a rare type of primary liver cancer, speculated to arise from hepatic progenitor cells, and with a worse prognosis than hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels may be one prognostic factor. It has been suggested that
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas or bile duct cancers comprise approximately 10-20% of all cholangiocarcinomas and may present with right upper quadrant pain, weight loss, liver enzyme abnormalities or they may be completely asymptomatic and be picked incidentally on routine abdominal imaging.
BACKGROUND
The oral multikinase inhibitor sorafenib is the new reference standard for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Only few data are available on the use of sorafenib in cholangiocellular carcinoma (CCC).
METHODS
A 70-year-old male patient with histologically confirmed
OBJECTIVE
The role of postoperative therapy in extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EHCC) or gallbladder carcinoma (GBCA) is unknown. S0809 was designed to estimate 2-year survival (overall and after R0 or R1 resection), pattern of relapse, and toxicity in patients treated with this adjuvant
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) incidence is increasing in the USA. Gemcitabine (G) and oxaliplatin (O) are active in HCC and biliary duct cancer (BDC). Erlotinib (E) is an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with known activity against both. We sought to evaluate the efficacy of the combination
Liver function tests are elevated in a variety of settings and with a mild elevation, it is difficult to decipher the cause. Typical causes of elevated liver enzymes may range from hepatocellular injury such as hepatitis C, to obstructive causes, such as primary sclerosing cholangitis. Primary
In a phase II study of 67 patients with upper gastrointestinal carcinomas and measurable disease without previous chemotherapy, we have evaluated the combination of intensive course 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (300 mg/m2/d for five days) doxorubicin (40 mg/m2 on day 1), and cisplatin (60 mg/m2 on day 1).
The Helicobacter genus includes Gram negative bacteria which were originally considered to belong to the Campylobacter genus. They have been classified in a separate genus since 1989 because they have different biochemical characteristics, with more than 24 species having been identified and more
OBJECTIVE
To assess the efficacy of systemic intravenous-fluorouracil (5-FU) and subcutaneous recombinant human interferon alfa-2b (rIFN alpha-2b) in patients with measurable cancer of the biliary tree.
METHODS
Thirty-five patients (25 with cholangiocarcinoma and 10 with gallbladder carcinoma) were
Clonorchiasis usually presents with chronic gastrointestinal disturbances or cholangiocarcinoma. We describe a rare acute presentation of clonorchiasis in a child with diarrhea and liver abscess.
