Redefining Cholangiocarcinoma Management: Breakthroughs and Their Clinical Implications for Clinical Practice.
New genetic testing and immunotherapy combinations are transforming outcomes for cholangiocarcinoma, a cancer historically with poor survival.
This practice-oriented review summarizes how precision oncology advances—especially NGS-identified actionable targets and immunotherapy integration—have transformed the management of cholangiocarcinoma, a cancer with historically dismal prognosis. It serves as a practical guide for gastroenterologists and hepatologists navigating the rapidly evolving treatment landscape.
