AHPBA Sponsored Consensus Conference on the Multidisciplinary Treatment of Bile Duct Cancer

The focus of this consensus conference is the multidisciplinary management of patients with bile duct cancers. The aim of this conference is to review the current indications for surgical treatment, non-surgical interventions, and adjuvant therapy for bile duct cancer. This topic has not previously been discussed in a consensus conference format, and therefore, there is likely to be a high education yield for participants. The format will divide the conference into three sessions, individually focusing on Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma, Extrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma, and Gallbladder Cancer. The program features an expert multispecialty international group of speakers, panelists, and moderators with extensive experience in the diagnosis, staging, treatment, and research related to the state-of-the-art treatment of patients with bile duct malignancy. The goal of this meeting is to provide a forum to review, discuss, and establish current practice guidelines and consensus statements. At the conclusion of the conference, attendees should leave with a higher level of understanding and competence in the diagnosis and management of these disorders.
