Survival Benefit of Hepatopancreatoduodenectomy for Cholangiocarcinoma in Comparison to Hepatectomy or Pancreatoduodenectomy

Abstract

In cases of perihilar or distal cholangiocarcinoma, aggressive surgery must be aimed at overcoming perineural invasion. Our findings indicate that HPD improves survival of patients undergoing surgery for widespread cholangiocarcinoma in comparison to standard surgeries.
