Proximal Bile Duct Cancer: High Resectability Rate and 5-Year Survival

Abstract

The type of surgery required to achieve cure is closely related to tumor location, TNM classification, and staging. Increasing resectability through the use of hepatectomy improves survival and offers a chance of cure in patients with more advanced disease.
