Cholangiocarcinoma, the predominant malignancy of the biliary tract, is associated with a dismal prognosis, typically yielding a median survival of 7–10 months post-diagnosis. The disease predominantly manifests as obstructive jaundice, and most patients are treated with palliative care due to the advanced stage at presentation. Although a wealth of international literature exists on this topic, detailed review from Indian literature is sparse. This review aims to fill this gap by aggregating and analyzing available Indian data from the past few decade regarding cholangiocarcinoma. We comprehensively explore clinical presentations, pathological features, diagnostic approaches, and management protocols specific to the Indian context. Emphasis is placed on unique aspects of intervention for alleviating obstructive jaundice and intraluminal therapies as documented in Indian studies. To our knowledge, this is the only available review article in detail and comprehensively about cholangiocarcinoma solely based on Indian publications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
