ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To provide an update on latest advances in treatment of cholangiocarcinoma. RECENT FINDINGS:
Incidence of cholangiocarcinoma has been increasing over the past decade. A better understanding of the genetic landscape of cholangiocarcinoma and its risk factors resulted in earlier diagnosis and treatment option expansion to targeted therapy with FGFR inhibitors, and liver transplantation for early perihilar cholangiocarcinoma and early intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. IDH1/2 inhibition for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is an emerging targeted therapy approach. Data supports benefits of adjuvant therapy for a subset of patients undergoing surgical resection. Approaches combining different treatment modalities such as chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy appear promising.SUMMARY:
Earlier diagnosis and genetic characterization provided additional treatment options for patients with previously incurable cholangiocarcinoma. A precision medicine approach with a focus on actionable genetic alterations and combination of treatment modalities are actively being explored and will further improve outcomes in our patients with cholangiocarcinoma.
