Cholangiocarcinoma Overview

Cholangiocarcinoma is a malignancy arising from biliary epithelial cells, classified as intrahepatic, perihilar, or distal, driven by chronic biliary inflammation, FGFR2 fusions, IDH1/2 mutations, and KRAS alterations promoting oncogenic transformation. It presents with progressive obstructive jaundice, pruritus, weight loss, and abdominal pain, with perihilar tumors causing early biliary obstruction. Diagnosis integrates MRI/MRCP, CA19-9, and tissue biopsy with molecular profiling; vascular involvement and metastatic spread define resectability. Surgical resection remains the only curative option; gemcitabine-cisplatin with durvalumab is the standard first-line systemic regimen. FGFR2 and IDH1 inhibitors provide targeted options in molecularly selected patients. Biliary drainage optimizes symptom control. Early palliative integration and goals-of-care planning are essential given poor overall prognosis.
