Emerging Therapies for Advanced Cholangiocarcinoma: An Updated Literature Review
Cholangiocarcinoma is a group of malignancies with poor prognosis. Treatments for the management of advanced-stage cholangiocarcinoma are limited, and the 5-year survival rate is estimated to be approximately 5–15%, considering all tumor stages. There is a significant unmet need for effective new tr...
