Diagnosis and Treatment Analysis of Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma—Attached with an 18-case Report

Abstract

Hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) refers to the malignant tumor occurring at left and right hepatic ducts, common hepatic duct and their convergence part. Its special anatomical position, adjoining relation and biological characteristics of infiltrating and metastasizing towards vessels, nerves and other surrounding tissues, its operative resection rate and long-term survival rate are extremely low so that HCCA diagnosis and treatment have become one of the difficult problems in the surgery department. This paper carried out a retrospective analysis of clinical data of 18 HCCA patients accepting operative treatment in our department from January, 2012 to December, 2016 to improve the recognition of HCCA diagnosis and treatment.
