Need additional info: In general extrahepatic cholangiocacinoma do better than intrhepatic, and with neoadjuvant therapy ( chmo-radiatio ) followed by liver transplantation 80% survival rate other wise over all results are not good, speak to the oncologist who knows more about the case.

Good: There are other factors involved in prognosis that depend on what the tumor looks like under the microscope. If the margin of resection was negative and the lymph nodes are negative, the prognosis is excellent at 5 years.
