The limited availability of effective treatments for biliary tract cancer, coupled with the low survival rates associated with the disease, has created a significant and urgent need for the development of innovative ...
These viruses can be utilized alone or in combination with other treatment modalities such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy to enhance the outcomes and survival rates of patients with biliary tract cancer. In a phase II clinical trial, the efficacy of ONYX-015 virus was evaluated ...
long-term survival remains low. Moving beyond conventional chemotherapies and immunotherapies, the realm of precision medicine has demonstrated remarkable efficacy inmalignanciessuch as breast and gastric cancers, characterized by notableHER2overexpression rates. In the contextof biliary tract cancer, significa...
Likewise, complete resection of gallblader cancer without microscopic residual disease is associated with long median survival rates, even in advanced stages. Radiation therapy has been used in patients with positive margins as adjuvant treatment or as palliation of unresectable biliary tract carcinoma....
(GBC). Although surgery remains the only curative treatment option for BTCs, 5-year survival rates remain low, largely due to the advanced nature of these cancers at diagnosis and their aggressive underlying pathogenesis.1Gemcitabine combined with cisplatin has emerged as a standard-of-care regimen...
Among those patients who do undergo "curative" resection, recurrence rates are high; thus, for the majority of BTC patients, systemic chemotherapy is the mainstay of their treatment plan. Patients with unresectable or metastatic BTC have a poor prognosis, with a median overall survival time of ...
Surgical resection offers the only prospect of cure for patients with this type of cancer. The resectability rates vary from 50% for tumours in the lower common bile duct to only 10% for tumours in the upper third. For the first group of patients there is a 5-year survival rate of 20-...
1 With a 5-year survival rate of only 10%-17%, BTC is one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant cancers, having the second worst prognosis after pancreatic cancer.2 Radical resection is still the only curative treatment option, but recurrence rates are high and most patients (>80%...
