What is klatskin tumor? what should be done to get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery: A Klatskin tumor is an intrahepatic cholangiolar carcinoma occurring at the confluence of the right and left hepatic bile ducts. The initial approach is by ERCP: stents placed in the left and right bile ducts Because of location, these tumors tend to become symptomatic late in development and are not usually resectable at the time of presentation. Best survival is with resection.
