Liver Transplant After Neoadjuvant Treatment for Long-Term Survivors With Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: Does It...

Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare and heterogeneous disease that often requires multimodal treatment. The role of liver transplantation in these tumors has been controversial due to historically poor prognosis and higher recurrence rates. However, in recent years, scientific evidence has challenged this notion. We report the case of a 49-year-old woman with locally advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The therapeutic approach for this patient was complex, involving locoregional and systemic therapies. Despite the tumor's characteristics, namely, large size, multifocality, and vascular involvement, the good response to the treatment allowed a liver transplant 57 months after diagnosis.
