Pouya Entezari, Ahsun Riaz
Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common primary malignancy of the liver. This review will focus on the mass-forming intrahepatic type of this disease and discuss the role of medical, surgical, and radiation oncology in managing this difficult disease. A global understanding to the management of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) can help the interventional radiologist understand the role of locoregional therapies such as ablation, transarterial chemoembolization, and radioembolization in the management of ICC.
