                    [Summary] => Primary cancer of the bile ducts (cholangiocarcinoma) is an uncommon malignant tumor that may arise anywhere within the bile duct epithelium. Cholangiocar-cinomas are typically associated with an extremely poor prognosis, and curative surgical resection is possible for few patients. Thus, palliation of jaundice is the main goal. Endoscopic therapy is the primary modality for achieving nonoperative palliation. The addition of photodynamic therapy to endoscopic stent placement may improve palliation and prolong survival.
