Core Tip |
Cholangiocarcinomas (bile duct cancers) are an heterogeneous group of malignancies arising from the epithelial cells of the intrahepatic, perihilar and extrahepatic bile ducts. Leucovorin-modulated 5-fluorouracil, capecitabine monotherapy or single agent gemcitabine are reasonable options for patients with a borderline performance status. After progression in patients with an adequate performance status, active regimens that could be considered for second line treatment include gemcitabine plus capecitabine or erlotinib plus bevacizumab. |
