Preface
The up-to-date management of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is growing increasingly complex as advances in basic and translational sciences highlight the unique genetic and molecular features that distinguish it from other biliary tract cancers. These advances called to attention the need for a single comprehensive resource focused specifically on ICC. Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: Diagnosis and Management was written to provide a comprehensive review of the epidemiology, molecular pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of ICC. The textbook brings together an impressive group of international experts in cholangiocarcinoma research and clinical care.
