Core Tip	This review explores the transformative role of radiation therapy, including stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), in managing intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, an aggressive malignancy with limited treatment options. With advancements in radiation delivery, motion management, and systemic therapy integration, SBRT is evolving beyond palliation to improve local control, survival outcomes, and potential synergy with transplantation strategies.
