Core Tip	The most appropriate treatment for Klatskin tumor (KT) with a curative intention is multimodal therapy based on achieving R0 resection combined with other types of neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment. In irresectable non-disseminated KT patients, using liver transplantation without neoadjuvant treatment, the 5-year survival rate increase to 38%, reaching 50% survival in early stage. In selected cases, with liver transplantation and neoadjuvant treatment (chemotherapy and radiotherapy), the actuarial survival rate is 65% at 5 years and 59% at 10 years. In conclusion, correct staging, neoadjuvant treatment, living donor and priority on the LT waiting list may lead to improved results.
