Update on the Genetics of and Systemic Therapy Options for Combined Hepatocellular Cholangiocarcinoma

Combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-ICC) is an uncommon and aggressive form of primary liver cancer. Currently, there are no international guidelines for optimal management. For localized tumors, radical resection represents the preferred treatment option, whereas for advanced tumors, s...
