Intra-hepatic Cholangiocarcinoma treatment
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy and tolerance of intra-hepatic administration of Yttrium 90-labelled microsphere (Theraspheres®, Nordion) in association with intravenous chemotherapy with Gemcitabin and Cisplatin for the treatment of intra-hepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
Interventions
Therasphere® is a radioelement
