Camrelizumab and Radiotherapy for Unresectable Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Show Promise in First-Line Therapy
External radiotherapy plus camrelizumab as first-line therapy for unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma demonstrated a 1-year progression-free survival rate of 44.4% and antitumor activity with low toxicity levels. The objective response rate was 61.1% and the disease control rate was 86.1%. Further investigation is warranted for this promising treatment approach.
Liver transplantation gave better 5-year survival than liver resection in combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma, including tumors within UCSF criteria.
Robotic liver resection using a close-to-open forceps technique was associated with no bile leakage and a shorter hospital stay than laparoscopic resection, even though more complex resections were performed in the robotic group.
