Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

In patients with unresectable perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, photodynamic therapy with biliary stent has been known for palliation of jaundice and improving survival. But most of therapeutic effects were expected to delay bile duct obstruction rather than to decrease the tumor. Recently orally available chemotherapeutic agent, S-1 was reported as effective in patients with bile duct adenocarcinoma. The investigators' aims of study evaluate the combined effect of photodynamic therapy and S-1.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: S-1 Chemotherapy
  • Procedure: Photodynamic therapy
  • Procedure: Systemic chemotherapy except S-1

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Compare the frequency of repeat photodynamic therapy [6 months after study start]

  2. Compare the frequency of biliary tract decompressive interventions [6 months after study start]

  3. Compare the frequency of hospitalization [6 months after study start]
