Currently, there are no effective chemotherapeutic or radiotherapeutic options available that have shown significant improvement in the clinical outcome of patients with cholangiocarcinoma. Palliative management (stenting of the biliary tree) relieves jaundice and the risk of cholangitis. Stenting can be accomplished by ERCP or by the percutaneous transhepatic approach.
