Diagnosis and Management of Cholangiocarcinoma

TRAMA

This book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). The text is structured to effectively present a broad yet concise overview of bile duct cancer, its relevant definitions, classification schemata, clinical management tenets, translational (including molecular and cellular) facets, and future directions. The book features numerous high-yield illustrations and is authored by an eclectic range of renowned experts in various areas of CCA, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of the field.Filling a critical gap in the field, Diagnosis and Management of Cholangiocarcinoma: A Multidisciplinary Approach is a valuable resource for clinicians and practitioners who treat patients with bile duct cancer.
