Brief summary
For patients with locally advanced cholangiocarcinoma with resectable margins, patients who meet the selection criteria are randomly divided into two groups A and B. Group A: neoadjuvant PDT therapy combined with radical surgery; Group B: radical surgery. This study aims to explore the clinical effectiveness and safety of neoadjuvant photodynamic therapy for cholangiocarcinoma, as well as its role in destroying local tumors and enhancing systemic inflammation.
Detailed description
The average 5-year survival rate of patients with cholangiocarcinoma is about 5-10%. Only 30%-40% of patients have the opportunity to obtain radical surgery. Surgical resection is limited by the extent of tumor spread along the bile duct branches and segments, and the degree of involvement of the portal vein and (or) hepatic artery branches. Complete resection with negative margins (R0) is the only possible radical treatment. Only 60%-78% of radical surgery for cholangiocarcinoma are considered to achieve true R0 resection, and the tumor-free margin is often very short. Even after R0 resection, the recurrence rate is as high as 50%-76%. Photodynamic therapy is a tumor specific ablation method with small side effects and repeated treatments will not produce drug resistance. It provides a new prospect for the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma. For the current patients with locally advanced cholangiocarcinoma, neoadjuvant photodynamic therapy is used to make them resectable. Demotion and subsequent resection may potentially improve their results. Similarly, patients with resectable margins can benefit from tumor downgrading by increasing their chances of undergoing R0 resection. In order to increase the negative rate of resection margins, and to ensure sufficient tumor-free margins of the bile duct stumps, the research is still blank. For patients with locally advanced cholangiocarcinoma with resectable margins, patients who meet the selection criteria are randomly divided into two groups A and B. Group A: neoadjuvant PDT therapy combined with radical surgery; Group B: radical surgery. This study aims to explore the clinical effectiveness and safety of neoadjuvant photodynamic therapy, as well as its role in destroying local tumors and enhancing systemic inflammation.This study plans to enroll 50 patients. It is planned to complete the enrollment operation within 2 years, and the follow-up observation will be continued for 5 years after the operation. All patients are expected to complete neoadjuvant PDT treatment and radical surgery within 2 years, survival period (5 years survival rate), R0 resection rate and local recurrence rate are the main observation indicators, and the bilirubin level, the number of intraoperative freezing, the length of the tumor-free margin of the tumor tissue, and the incidence of complications (biliary leakage, cholangitis, phototoxicity) are the secondary observation indicators.
