Clinical Trial Summary

LITALHICA is a prospective non-randomized study aimed at exploring the outcome of liver transplantation in selected patients with unresectable perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) after treatment with standard of care chemotherapy, in terms of overall survival and quality of life. Additionally, the study aims to identify pre-transplant biological markers and clinical factors that can stratify patients with the best post-transplant prognosis. Finally, the study aims to investigate the role of preoperative PET-MRI, especially in relation to lymph node locations, by correlating the results with histological examination after hilar lymphadenectomy.
