ILCA International CC Guidelines
International “Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma”
In 2012, The International Liver Cancer Association (ILCA) decided to produce their first ever International Guidelines on liver cancer and chose to do this on cholangiocarcinoma.
An international panel of CC specialists* from five countries, including Dr Shahid Khan and Dr John Bridgewater from the UK, collaborated on the guidelines. The coordinating centre, on behalf of ILCA was the US Mayo Clinic.
At the EASL International Liver Congress in London today, 9th April, 2014, Professor Gregory Gores from the Mayo Clinic and Chair of the panel of international CC specialists, introduced the completed and recently published, “Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma”.
