Systematic sequential therapy for ex vivo liver resection and autotransplantation: A case report and review of literature.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) is a highly malignant tumor arising from the biliary tree. Radical surgery is the only treatment offering a chance of long-term survival. However, limited by the tumor's anatomic location and peri-vascular invasion, most patients lose the chance for curative treatment.
