About this trial
Prospective observational cohort study including patients with a diagnosis of intrahepatic/perihilar cholangiocarcinoma at the central regional multidisciplinary conference, to assess therapy response, patient-reported quality of life, patient-reported symptoms/experiences and biomarkers. For patients diagnosed with localized unresectable disease, the study will document the multidisciplinary re-assessment of therapy response.
Eligibility criteria

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Rate of conversion to resectability, in patients with localized, unresectable cholangiocarcinoma
Change of initial treatment intention
Secondary outcomes
Recurrence-free survival time
For patients undergoing curative intent surgery
Progression-free survival time
For patients with tumor-directed therapy. Assessment of progressive disease using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST criteria): Complete Response - disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response - ≥30% decrease in sum of diameters. Progressive Disease - ≥20% increase in sum of diameters (minimum 5 mm absolute increase) or appearance of new lesions. Stable Disease: neither partial response nor progressive disease
Overall survival time
Patient-reported quality of life according to the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30)
30 item questionnaire with 3 domains: symptoms, functional- and global health status. Items for symptoms and functioning are scored from 1-4 (symptoms - higher score represents higher level of symptomatology; function - higher score represents higher level of functioning). Items for global health status are scored from 1-7 (higher score represents a higher quality of life). Aggregated domain scores are calculated separately, and standardized to a range from 0 to 100, where a high score for symptoms represents a high level of symptomatology; while a high score for function and global health status represents a high level of functioning and a high quality of life.
