Liver Transplant for Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) tends to be asymptomatic until late stages, leading most of the patients to present at advanced stages of the disease. A combination of medical and surgical therapy is crucial for patient management. Historically, poor outcomes resulted in liver transplantation being formally contraindicated for patients with iCCA; however, recent advances in patient selection and neoadjuvant therapy have resulted in a paradigm shift in liver transplant oncology. As a result, the feasibility of liver transplantation for iCCA is being reevaluated by several centers as a therapeutic alternative for select patients with locally advanced unresectable disease.
