Primary carcinoids of the liver: a review of symptoms, diagnosis and treatments.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Hilar resection in combination with extended liver resections has resulted in a higher rate of R0 resections and increased survival in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA). This aggressive surgical approach is, however, associated with high rates of operative morbidity and mortality, largely due to ...
