Abstract
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma account for 13% of annual cancer-related deaths worldwide and for 3% in the USA. Patient with unresectable disease can benefit from palliative therapies such as systemic chemotherapy. However, the only curative treatment for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is complete surgical resection with histologically negative resection margins.
