  • Title: Arterial chemotherapy and conformal radiation abolish malignant biliary obstruction.
    Author: Guan YS, Qing He, Ping Li, Fu YC, Zhao SW.
    Journal: Integr Cancer Ther; 2008 Mar; 7(1):51-3. PubMed ID: 18292595.
    Abstract:
    Malignant biliary obstruction has been a challenge to clinical practitioners, especially when it is serious and complete. Chemotherapy or radiation alone is often unsuccessful. In this study, the authors report a 59-year-old patient with complete common bile duct obstruction caused by cholangiocarcinoma who was treated with arterial chemotherapy followed by 3-dimensional conformal radiation, which resulted in a good clinical outcome.
