Biliary duct stenosis after image-guided high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy of central and hilar liver tumors

ConclusioniBT of liver malignancies located near the hilum can cause PHC when the central bile ducts are exposed to high point doses. Given the long latency and absence of impact of iBT-induced PHC on median survival, the rate of cholestasis and complications seen in our patients appears to be acceptable.
