[A Case of Unresectable Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Successfully Treated with Chemoradiotherapy]

A 69-year-old woman with unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(T3N1M1, Stage Ⅳ)underwent chemoradiotherapy with gemcitabine, cisplatin and irradiation toward primary lesion(total dose, 36 Gy). Grade 3 or 4 adverse events include leukopenia, neutropenia, and anemia. The relative dose intensities at 6 months after beginning of treatment were 58.9%(gemcitabine)and 80.2%(cisplatin), respectively. The total dose of administered cisplatin was 525 mg to the square meter. Partial response was obtained, and after that, the representative lesions have been stable with continuous administration of gemcitabine. As some studies have reported clinical benefits of chemoradiotherapy for unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, further clinical investigations are expected.
