S-1 and Photodynamic Therapy in Cholangiocarcinoma
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Compare overall survival time in patients with unresectable perihilar cholangiocarcinoma treated with photodynamic therapy combined with or without S-1 [12 months after study start]
