The updated versions: CCA intrahepatic and the updated CCA diagnoses and management authored by Dr. Gregory Gores, is ready for upload. However; we are still in negotiations with the publishers re: cost to the Foundation.
We are getting close though and expect completion within the next few weeks.

There is a full text version available of Reference 2.
“Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of cholangiocarcinoma: an update”
“Abstract
The British Society of Gastroenterology guidelines on the management of cholangiocarcinoma were originally published in 2002. This is the first update since then and is based on a comprehensive review of the recent literature, including data from randomised controlled trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, cohort, prospective and retrospective studies. “It discusses some studies frequently referenced in these Boards: BILCAP, ABC-01 and ABC-02.
It also shows how much things have changed in the last few years; some of the material is now out-dated so take it with some caution.
