Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ECC) is classified into two subtypes based on anatomic origin: distal extrahepatic (DECC) and perihilar (PHCC) cholangiocarcinoma. This study aimed to shed light on its genomic and transcriptomic profiles. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The genomic alterations of 99 ECC (47 PHCC and 52 DECC) were investigated by next-generation sequencing of 96 genes. A subgroup of...
