Core Tip	Ablate or not prior to stent insertion in patients with unresectable biliary cancer? The role of endo-biliary radiofrequency ablation before stent remains unclear regarding the overall survival and the prolongation of stent patency. Contrary results are probably attributed to differences in the studies' design, cancer extensiveness, patient performance status, and applied technique. Moreover, it has to be clarified whether percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage overcomes endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography as the method of choice for performing ablation, especially in more complicated cases.
