- Abstract
Malignant biliary obstruction has been a challenge to clinical practitioners, especially when it is serious and complete. Chemotherapy or radiation alone is often unsuccessful. In this study, the authors report a 59-year-old patient with complete common bile duct obstruction caused by cholangiocarcinoma who was treated with arterial chemotherapy followed by 3-dimensional conformal radiation, which resulted in a good clinical outcome.
