AIM To summarize the experience of surgical treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma and the results of aseries of experiments.METHODS AND RESULTS Personal perspectives of surgical treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma werebased on the experience of a series of patients with hilar bile duct cancer treated in the General Hospital ofPLA, Beijing from 1986 to 1999. A total of 157 cases were treated surgically, with 106 (67.5%) resections ofthe tumor , 37.6% of the resections was proved to be radical. The 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year survival rate of theradical resection group was 96.7%, 40.0%, 23.3% and 13.3%, respectively. No patient of the palliativeresection group lived beyond 3 years postoperatively. The recent trends of surgical management of hilar bileduct cancer were discussed. Experiments were carried out for cooperative clinicopathological study toevaluate the perineural space involvement, the neural cell adhesion molecule expression, p16 geneexpression, and the 3-dimensional reconstruction of the bile duct cancer specimens. The pathogeneticrelationship of HBV and HCV with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma was evaluated by histochemical and IS-PCR methods. And an inquiry into the possibility of gene therapy was made.CONCLUSION Hilar bile duct cancer rarely runs a “benign” course. It is a regional disease rather than alocal affection and may be related to HBV and HCV infection in China. It possesses the metastasing abilityalong the perineural space by a “jumping” fashion, therefore, in most cases, conventional surgical excision isbound to be unradical in the region of the porta hepatis for anatomical reasons.
