Core Tip	Cholangiocarcinoma are an heterogeneous group of tumor and represent a challenge in medicine because of the difficulty in establishing the diagnosis and an high recurrence rate after surgery which represents the only curative treatment. Endoscopy has gained a pivotal role in the management of the disease, before surgery if patient is amenable to surgical intervention or in those unfit for surgery. New stent prototype able to release drugs and/or photodynamic therapy have been commercialized with promising results. When endoscopy fails, endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage represents an effective alternative method affording biliary drainage.
