Summary:Current guidelines recommend chemotherapy (CT) with or without radiotherapy (RT) for unresected intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IC). Although there is currently lack of consensus, previous smaller studies have illustrated the efficacy of local therapy for this population. This investigation evaluated outcomes of chemoradiotherapy (CRT) versus CT alone in unresected IC using a large, contemporary national database.
