Importance: The role of adjuvant therapy in resected cholangiocarcinoma patients is unproven despite poor survival rates even in completely resected patients. Most relapses occur locally and within a relatively short window from time of resection. R1 resection and lymph node positive patients are particularly at high risk for local relapse. Observation: Adjuvant modalities have not been compared head to head against one another in cholangiocarcinoma patients. The recent phase III PRODIGE 12-ACCORD 18 trial assessing adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin in this group of patients was a negative study. Adjuvant radiation has been shown in some retrospective series to improve overall survival in R1 resected and lymph node positive patients. Other retrospective studies sugg... view more»
