Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether radioactive stents and common used plastic stents are effective and safety in the treatment of unresectable biliary tract cancer.

Detailed description

Patients with unresectable biliary tract cancer (intrahepatic or extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, or ampullary carcinoma) were enrolled and placed with a stent loaded with radioactive seeds (irradiation stent group) or a conventional plastic stent (traditional stent group). After stent placement, the outcomes were compared in terms of tumor response, progression-free survival, overall survival time, and complications related to the procedures.

Conditions

• Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma
• Cholangiocarcinoma of the Extrahepatic Bile Duct
• Ampullary Carcinoma
• Biliary Obstruction

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	radioactive stent	radioactive stent carrying seed iodine 125
DEVICE	plastic stent	common plastic stent without carrying seed iodine 125
