Highlight Tanaka and Kubo reported the first case of recurrent occupational cholangiocarcinoma treated with programmed death‐1 inhibitor. A programmed death‐1 inhibitor was administered every 2 weeks for para‐aortic lymph node metastasis after curative hepatectomy. After seven cycles of administration, positron emission tomography demonstrated diminished lymph node size without 18 F‐fluorodeoxy glucose uptake.
