1. Highly selected patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma have satisfactory overall survival with neoadjuvant therapy followed by liver transplantation, especially those with primary sclerosing cholangitis. 2. Patients with unicentric intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma < 2 cm have an excellent overall survival following liver transplantation whereas those with multicentric disease or larger lesions do less well.
