Clinical outcome after resection of early-stage hilar cholangiocarcinoma

ConclusionsIn an experienced European centre, 5-year survival rates after liver resection for early-stage hilar cholangiocarcinoma are comparable with reported outcomes after transplantation. The results of this study question the value of liver transplantation in this setting, especially with respect to the shortage of transplantable organs worldwide.
