Updated Palliative #Chemotherapy for Biliary Tract #Cancer by Jung-Hun Kang in BJSTR

Abstract

#Biliarytractcancer (BTC) is rare and often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Thus, palliative treatment is usually the only option for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer. Many #chemotherapeuticagents have been tested. However, few #therapeuticmedications have been proven to be useful. With the recent increase in the understanding of drug resistance mechanisms and molecular features of #cancercells, possible new drugs are emerging. Herein, we discuss issues including the choice of chemotherapy and optimal chemotherapy and categorizing treatment types into #cytotoxicchemotherapy, targeted therapy, and #immunotherapy.
